Hell I missed one that I actually flew in (although not my operational airplane) the F-14-D! There is also a P-51 variant that was rather rare (forget the nomenclature) but it was a "Twin" Mustang.

I have never seen a B-58, but I hear that the AF museum in Nebraska? has one in good shape?? Also, I bet that thing was a beast to fly. Too bad they didn't have a longer service life, though. IO saw one in the Consolidated (Confederate) Air Force museum hangers in Galveston in the late 1990's. Cool plane.

I thought the Navy used them as dissimilar aggressors or is that what combat maneuvering training is in Navy lingo?
