Never knew this one,

 

[Glider]

Excellent, thanks!

I know they had the Rolls engines which bulged the belly some but were a big step up in power.

Unfortunately they were a much bigger increase in drag, resulting in the UK F4's being slower than the US versions.

Everyone knows the Canadians escort their B-24 missions with CF-104s to keep the pesky Russians from shooting down the last ones the Canadians have.

That is without a doubt the opposite of if it looks good it is good! Fugly come to mind. Just saying! I mean it makes an A-10 look like an F-104 or F-15! Just saying!

Sturdy, practical and functional.
