Back in the late 1980s or early 1990s (my hard drive failed a couple of months ago and I haven't been able to reconstruct all of my records) I was working in the general area of AV-8B, and specifically its vulnerability to combat damage. The USMC came to us and asked what would be the smallest...
Hello everyone, new here, created an account to post this since I don't see many other places discussing the 2707. I was at the local thrift store(Cleveland, OH, USA) the other day and came across this pretty cool wall art. It's about 5 feet wide and features a blueprint of the 2707 along with a...

Tu-16 strategic bomber came out and approached it closely, flying over the
aircraft carrier. A Phantom F4 fighter from the carrier was...
