I know man! That one was right in your wheelhouse! Honestly I wouldn't have gotten it without you peaking my interest!

I don't think this is correct but a F-101 Voodoo?

You're right, Aaron, it's not an F-101; it had a high set tailplane.

Bizarre looking thing; one tail pipe is smaller than the other.

Yes it is not a voodoo. Though the two different pipes are a clue as to the career this bird enjoyed above and beyond what it was designed for.

It almost looks like an F-4 but not quite. Tail planes don't look correct.

Yup, but I reckon this puppy has had an extra added to it.... a bit like the F104 they fitted a rocket to for altitude . I know this isn't a 104 but I'm thinking that's an auxilliary nozzle for and extra bit of Oooomph...just gotta figure out what tho'.
Could be aTest and Evaluation airframe of some sort
And take note of the clue "above and beyond" !

Not an F-80 either, but it was from that time frame more or less. Was passed over for a production contract.

The only thing I can find is the P-59 but it looks nothing like that at the tail section and the engine nozzels don't come back that far.

Douglas XB-43? One had one of its J35s engines replaced by a J47 as a flying test bed and I'm thinking if it is an XB-43 its likely to be that one as the original one's tailpipes were the same size. Am I right, Capt?
