I wonder what name it would have had?

Craig.

The two landings at 2.40 - 3.00 look entertaining. Was the first one the legendary tiptoe landing? Does not look like it, but that bounce and roll must have given the guys religion. The next landing's like an F-15: hold nose high for a long time to help slow down.

Definitely a cool-looking jet. A bit Vigilante, a bit of F-104/U-2 lines as well. Big internal weapon bay, tiny wings, hugely blown flaps, farging big tails, monster pure turbojets. The landing gear looks huge... a little bit of insanity going in the requirements department if they were really serious about grass strips.
