F86 Sabre was a visibility standard for a long time until the F16 came
along. I got to sit in one (that's all they'd let me do!) and it beat
the Sabre. You coud see even further below the horizon looking back at
6:00. The 22's rudders are going to block some viz off at 5 and 7.
Worst viz was the back seat in a 105F. My one ride in that jet,
McClellan to Edwards.

No I have to say that the worse was the back seat of the RA-5C. But that had
some good points too. When the GIB got really excited you knew you it was
time to get out of Dodge.

Or how about one of the back seaters on the B-58?
