Orac,

Thanks for posting. A very interesting aircraft.

That must be a unique instructor's cockpit. I wonder why they just didn't put the instructor in the back seat with a higher sightline. It would have been easier.

Interesting but it is a plane only a mother could love......

i understand it was called a PATROL FIGHTER at one point.

long range patrol, with missiles to stop the yankee hordes
