What makes a plane rare/unique?
Performance? Age? How about a standard/off the production floor plane that was so fast the speed record it set on Dec. 15, 1959 is still unbroken almost 60 years later? In a world where no record stands for long and ever increasing performance is the rule, it's hard to imagine a speed record set so long ago hasn't been broken by the modern fighters/interceptors.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
What speed record is that? The Dart's airspeed record (1525MPH) was beaten less than two years later by the F4 (1606MPH). Current record for manned, powered aircraft is still the X-15 at 4,520MPH. Means the F106 was faster in the 1950's (and 1960's) than the F16 is now. Speed was a big thing in those days. The faster they could get form the ADC bases along the Canadian border to the Russian bombers they expected to fly over the North Pole, the more chances they had to knock them down before they got here. They actually developed a nuclear warhead missile (F101 Voodoo could carry it, too) for the idea of taking out multiple Russian bombers if they could get to them before the split up coming across northern Canada. It was called the Genie. Single jet engine speed record. The took two F106's out there for the record attempt. They spent time/effort prepping one for the attempt and then couldn't use it due to some failure or other. The pilot jumped into the back up that didn't have an special prep work done to it and still set a record that stands to this day. Nothing Russia or China (or anyone else) has built with a single jet engine is faster than an airplane the US built in the 1950's. I always thought they were cool planes. |
