| Alan Gale, e-mail, 02.05.2015 02:04 George, the aircraft that you saw was probably a Pilatus PC 12. business aircraft. the nose profile is very similar. The XF-88 was purely experimental and never intended for operational service use. reply | | sft, e-mail, 07.04.2012 22:51 John:
Was it supersonic in level flight? reply | | George McJunkins, e-mail, 05.03.2010 22:12 Is this aircraft still in service? I thought I saw one flying over Jeanerette, Louisiana on 03 /04 /10. reply | | John M. Fitzpatrick, e-mail, 01.02.2009 22:01 I flew the Air Force evaluation of this aircraft in 1953. As far as I know I was the only one to exceed Mach 1 in it. reply |
