Ah, okay. I was thinking of a largish bomber.

Was it intended to be a combat aircraft?

Catfish · 01-27-21, 09:27 AM

Is it a jet at all?

It was a jet but the picture shows it without the engine for NACA wind tunnel testing.

Not that one and not intended for air launch. Close to the same era though.

Jimbuna · 01-27-21, 01:41 PM

Yeah, I noticed after I posted that one was 48 or 49.

The plane Richard Ira Bong flew? and tried to bail out of....
variant EF-80?

Buddahaid · 01-27-21, 02:44 PM

No mention of Bong but of another recently deceased figure.

Aktungbby · 01-27-21, 02:54 PM

the Wright Stuff!?

Convair XP-92

the key was the juxta position of the AF logo to the cockpit....and my post on the recent death of Chuck Yeager.

Bingo. This one posed as much challenge to answer the questions as figure out. I hope I didn't get anything wrong.
