I didn't say it was a bad thing, I like the Jag, just didn't know it was nasalized! I think it's pretty cool.

Well that's interesting and helps explain why I haven't heard of it. Well that's interesting and I'm an American and we only know about ourselves and well you know. I do like the Jaguar's but only knew of the land based variants. Got this think about hanging things on top of wings.
 
Not a rectal exam, but a Thor IRBM being loaded into a C-133, possibly for transport from California to its deployment location in the UK. Note the sign that indicates it was at Clover Field airport, which was near the Douglas production facility. I think that mainly C-124's were used for those flights. I was the last USAF program manager for the Thor.

 
B-58 with a display of its stores options, including out in front the M-61 20MM tail gun with its ammunition. Originally the B-58 was supposed to be equipped with a center pod that could be launched as a missile. The rocket engine, built by Bell, was called the Hustler. While not deployed operationally on B-58's the engine was used as the propulsion for Lockheed Agena upper stages, many of which were launched on Thor boosters, including those that carried the first "spy" satellites.
