Bill Gunston, in his book “Early Supersonic Fighters of the West”, lamented that that airplane did not get built. It would have corrected the flaws in the F4D, and improved upon it. Ed Heinemann is one of my heroes, as a nerd who made good. I want a pair of horn-rimmed eyeglasses just like his. (He arguably won the Pacific side of WWII with the SBD.)

With this one more step towards my plan of world domination is now complete!
Truly a gorgeous aircraft. Do you have side and front views too? Will these be available to order and download like your other “goodies”?
> Do you have side …
Yes.
> and front views too?
No.
> Will these be available to order
Nope. Might do “prints,” but as far as electronic, what you see is about as good as I can get you.
Feel free to hit that “donate” button, though…
