'Afraid you'd lose that bet. The original XF-92 prototype looked more interesting, with the pilot sitting in a pod centrally in the large air intake, just like the French Leduc experimental jets.
I think I've been misunderstood. I never said this was the fastest, or the most impressive, or could do the Kessell Run in under 12 parsecs... I said "I bet his jet engine powered cigar tube was fassssst!" Fassssst translates to fast, meaning fast. Is there anyone that can find reason to quibble? It's got a jet engine, and can fly... that is fast for something that weighs a couple thousand pounds.
