"Cub Driver" wrote in message ... The discussion I believe was about the B-36. It flew above the absolute ceiling of contemporary MiG fighters. The British begged for a chance to challenge the 36, but the USAF wisely ignored them. No American fighter of the time could get up there, and no Russian either. Are you sure about the British? I recall reading of a similar desire by the US Navy. The Navy wanted more funding, money that was going to the B-36. I can't see what the British would have to gain. Of course, I can't see why the Navy would have to beg for a chance to challenge the B-36 either. Just do it.
