Bravo. Couple of Q, tho. Was RF-84H (hypersonic prop var) xam under B-36? Am I right FICON was obsoleted by U-2? And was XF-85 Goblin maj part FICON? Trekphiler 20:41, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

No, Thunderscreech was not part of the FICON project. I imagine B-36 crews would've been upset with all those supersonic rotating blades feet away from their shiny Peacemaker. :) U-2 was definitely a significant part of the deal with FICON cancellation. Difficulty with the docking procedure was another part of it, and several aircraft were damaged while attempting to dock. There is also some speculation of unknown (to me) veracity that FICON flights actually attempted real missions with poor results. If you want to go into conspiracy theories, you can try to find the fate of all the FICON-coverted RF-84K's to see if any are suspiciously missing (presumably lost in action). I've seen XF-85 mentioned both separately and as part of FICON, and I'm not 100% certain which is correct. Either way, XF-85 was so small and handled so poorly that it was all but useless. - Emt147 ^Burninate! 20:55, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
