F-12B and F-108


These two were mentioned before as well but I thought I'd bring them back up as I find it a complete waste for them to spend huge amounts of money on R&D for this "elusive mach 3 class interceptor" and then build a whopping 3 F-12Bs and then cancel it outright.  Such aircraft were needed to keep our forces viable against the soviets in the event that they sent over massive supersonic bombers.  When coupled with SAGE and the mighty ASG-18 FCR the possibilities could only be imagined when defending the US from attack and maybe the Russians would have been too intimidated to challenge us if those two aircraft were built.
