Another a/c also along the line of` if it looks right,it`ll fly right` was the `FORD `, really the Douglas F4D Skyray;;first carrier-borne supersonic jet,could go Mach 1+ in level flight,and held World Airspeed Record..Really shapely aircraft,almost as good-looking as a Hunter...!!...but I`m just a bit biased...

ed..Douglas and Ed Heinemann certainly knew how to design and build great aircraft...until Mcd..came along...
