Republic XF-12 Rainbow... a real beauty, isn’t she?

I guess the best names were taken... but it was a long range high altitude high speed photo recon aircraft with very impressive performance. Call it whatever you like... :giggles:

The only requirement it did not make was its timing. I think I read it had a 45,000 ft ceiling, range of 4,500 miles and a top speed of over 450 mph.
