Still a sucker for Delta planforms on this end. Many of our fighters might be considered Delta's ( like the F-15 and others with continuous camber leading edges ) augmented with tails, but I digress ;-).

Love to know more about the South African Cheetah's and the Israeli Kfir, they are somewhat of a mystery.

I wouldn't rule out Delta / BWB / Modified Flying Wing type config's being added to our fleet in the future...

XF-90. F-102. F-106. Area-ruled fuselage designs. The Dart was a great plane.

By the bye, I love taildraggers. Fueled them in my first real job out of high school.

I am working some into my science-fiction series: sort of Diesel Punk retro.
