Beautiful aircraft, let down by weak engines.
XF-90 one of the most beautiful jets to never be. IMHO
It's not a survivor, it's just mortal remains.It has seen better days though:
One and only one. It NEVER made production, therefore never existed.It really existed; one survives.
Now that's how you preserve a jet! NOT
That is exactly how you conserve an artefact. Thank goodness for museums which actually understand this.Now that's how you preserve a jet! NOT
