Possibly the first production Tu-144 on rollout. This isn't the prototype, several things give it away, the glazed sections on the drooped nose and the position of the main gears retracting into the nacelles. The prototype's were positioned outboard of the nacelles. There were so many changes made between the prototype and production aircraft following trials with the prototype, they basically redesigned the entire thing, almost every aspect of the aircraft was redesigned. If this is the first production airframe it survives at Monino. This is it more than 20 years ago on a rather stormy Moscow day. It's still a cool looking thing.

J35 Draken? I get these wrong so much I am getting hesitant to show how dumb I am!
Draken prototypes 35-1, 35-2 and 35-3 during a marketing event for a Swiss delegation in Linköping, Sweden, in September 1957.

Excellent! I knew I had seen it before but couldn't place it. I may have posted a card with it's photo in AvPix Unlimited. A memory is just as bad to lose as a mind.
