its ejection seat British Well, whose isn't?
Yes, I've picked this bit out because it's an attitude that has always annoyed me. Sometimes there is no point in trying to reinvent the wheel.

Thought it was about the Texas (tejas or tea-has) Air Force. Kind of like the old Confederate Air Force now known as the Commemorative Air Force.

28 million USD per plane!
Compare that to the $200M+ F35, which these planes would beat in a dogfight.
But then: how important are dogfights in modern air superiority? I’ll leave that question for expert FReepers.

Cutting edge 1960s design?
Oops, the F-106, Mirage, and F-102 were 1950s, not 60s, designs.
Wonder if they’ve thought of trying canards.
