The Precursor to the FB-111,known as the TFX went through hell in congress because of cost overruns and such. The program was almost canceled.

But the FB-111 turned out to be an excellent penetration bomber once the kinks were worked out of it.

All new aircraft have growing pains.They just make the plane better.IMHO.

Perhaps...except the bugs weren’t worked out of the 111 until the 90s (AMP & Pacer Strike), which was just about in time for it to retire!
