Salute!
Thanks, TLB, guess my old fading memory ain't too bad.
The thing about the stern attack on the B-58 was that sucker could hold 0.95M and to get overtake you had to use burner and get up to 1.15M or more So a cold rollout was a bad deal. The face shot was the way to go or a "hot" beam. The RCAF F100 and the U,S. F-89 had no chance except a face shot or hot beam.
The NORAD computers calculated a 4 mile stern attack with 50 knots of overtake. Heh heh. Fat chance.
..Gums..
