Hey, has anybody else seen the "Follow Topic" turning off without you doing anything?  For a while I thought it was me, but it just did it again and I know it wasn't me.

 2. Crew of two but could be flown by one
 3. Long service history...
 4. Described by many as Ugly
 5. Subsonic
 6. Sometimes incorrectly referred to as a fighter
 7. More than 100 built
 8. Early testing with vectored thrust but eliminated for production airplanes.
 9. Shares a unique design feature with the F-89 and several current day aircraft.

 Are we talking about decelerons and the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II? 
 
 Could not find any references to it being tested with vectored thrust though.  Fits otherwise.

The Quiz plane is not the A-10
 
 1. A monoplane
 2. Crew of two but could be flown by one
 3. Long service history...
 4. Described by many as Ugly
 5. Subsonic
 6. Sometimes incorrectly referred to as a fighter
 7. More than 100 built
 8. Early testing with vectored thrust but eliminated for production airplanes.
 9. Shares a unique design feature with the F-89 and several current day aircraft.
 10. Yes it dos have the same feature unique on the A-10. and at least one other current airplane. 
 11. On of the first airplanes to have multiple computers and systems tied together to make it a more accurate weapons platform. 
 Not surprisingly it suffered from system reliably until the bugs were worked out. 
 12. It could carry tactical Nuclear weapons
