Re: Guess the Plane

You guys are giving up on this one huh.......
JP

For my very life, I can't find a pic of this plane anywhere, Star. In fact, this is the first time I've seen it. Cool lookin' thing, if you ask me; but I'm stumped. What in the livin' H*LL is it???! Besides, now I've got to dig into my library (shouldn't take more than a week or two) to figure out what Fly posted.

Re: Guess the Plane

For more than two years prior to the Navy issuing RFP (Request for Proposal) in 1964, Convair engineers had been evaluating designs for use in the limited war and counter-insurgency arenas. These designs were evaluated by many military and civilian representatives of the armed forces and Department of Defense. Shortly after the Navy issued a procurement invitation on 28 October 1963, the design was formalized. Once approved, it only took 40 weeks from go-ahead until first flight on 29 November 1964. Even though a prototype was flying shortly after the requirement was published, North American won the contract with a paper airplane......
