Some one offer a guess

1. One pilot, total crew of 3 sometimes more depending on which version it was.
2. Depending on the branch of service it might have had two pilots.
3. High wing
4. Nose dragger but occasionally used the tailwheel too!
5. More than one engine
6. Fast for its time
7. Never used as it was originally intended (thank goodness)
8. Multi service user but none operated by a foreign country to that of Manufacture.
9. In later years some were used as executive transport.
10. Only operated by one service for 19 years
11. The other service flew it quite extensively last flight was 1991 After 35 years of service.
12. What is probably the very last flight of any of this airframe was 2011 when two were flown to Museums.

Oh both good guesses!

1. One pilot, total crew of 3 sometimes more depending on which version it was.
2. Depending on the branch of service it might have had two pilots.
3. High wing
4. Nose dragger but occasionally used the tailwheel too!
5. More than one engine
6. Fast for its time
7. Never used as it was originally intended (thank goodness)
8. Multi service user but none operated by a foreign country to that of Manufacture.
9. In later years some were used as executive transport.
10. Only operated by one service for 19 years
11. The other service flew it quite extensively last flight was 1991 After 35 years of service.
12. What is probably the very last flight of any of this airframe was 2011 when two were flown to Museums.
13. Originally designed without ejection seats for the crew because of its mission as a high altitude nuclear bomber and to save weight.
14. No ejection seats is often cited as the reason they lasted so long.....

Nope neither of those! But thanks for playing along.

1. One pilot, total crew of 3 sometimes more depending on which version it was.
2. Depending on the branch of service it might have had two pilots.
3. High wing
4. Nose dragger but occasionally used the tailwheel too!
5. More than one engine
6. Fast for its time
7. Never used as it was originally intended (thank goodness)

13. Originally designed without ejection seats for the crew because of its mission as a high altitude nuclear bomber and to save weight.
14. No ejection seats is often cited as the reason they lasted so long.....
15. One was shot down in East Germany by a MIG 21 after the airplane had a compass problem. The crew (3) ejected and were recovered and were repatriated.
