[QUOTE="Stargazer2006, post: 147452, member: 3129"] I have another Skyray-related question and I think this is as good a place as any other to ask: A USAF [url=http://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=%22ZP-*%22+%22Convair%22+-%22FZP-110%22&source=web&cd=15&ved=0CEkQFjAEOAo&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rand.org%2Fpubs%2Fresearch_memoranda%2F2006%2FRM2549.pdf&ei=kkRnT7DVBYqz8QPD7OGjCA&usg=AFQjCNGvhEBWfgGR9YmRx9nP42OCO1qKfw&cad=rjt]Project RAND research memorandum[/url] dated May 20, 1960 states that in the interim period when Convair's MX-1554 was still in development and the wartime fighters were obsolete, the U.S. Air Force considered procuring an interim fighter. Among these were the Republic F-91A [i]Thunderceptor[/i], the North American [i]Sabre-45[/i] (forerunner of the F-100), an interim Convair Model 8 proposal with a J40 engine (which led to the F-102) and... [b]the Douglas F4D [/b][i][b]Skyray[/b][/i]. I would be very curious to hear or read about the Air Force [i]Skyray [/i]proposal. Any hints? Possible sources? [/QUOTE]
