The only thing more incredible than the F-100 on a ZELL launcher was that the Germans planned on using it with an F-104G.

Admittedly, it is a super cool looking idea.

While North American had their own idea of what the F-108 would look like, rather like the B-70's kid brother.

Should have had "Do Not Hold In Hand After Lighting" printed on the side in large letters.
I once used that phrase to describe a certain USN admiral's expertise in rocketry.

Know what the guidance system on the AIR-2 was?
Same as that for the M1 Garand.

could be argued that the M1 was spin stabilized but that is stabilization not the Mk one eyeball.

F-106A did have a radar to track the target and telling you when to fire but after launch the Genie was just a bullet. Impossible to jam with ECM, and if you were a little bit off, well, close only counts in horse shoes and nuclear weapons.
But the guys on the USS Enterprise had it wrong. The F-104 did not carry the Genie.

But they did develop a trapeze system to carry it, the Air Force did not acquire that system.
Nice shots!

A friend of mine had the YJ-75 engine out of one of the F-107's but it was scrapped after he died.
