Mike--

Officially, that'd be the F-101...I'm old enough to remember and miss that terrific "wham-wham" of reheat engaging on 101s at local airshows.

Unofficially (and speaking as one of the Canuck brigade), I also must cite the two Canadian "Century Series" birds, the CF-100 and the late lamented CF-105...

Those other remarks further down are sadly reflective of an attitude from the past that saw to it that there are now no Stirlings...no Hornets...no this, no that. I don't really think that's what the poster intended, but it came across dismayingly, and the poster certainly caught some flak!

Cheers

Steve
