Along with 4 50 cals

It was one of the first American fighters to use tricycle landing gear.

You know what's true beauty though imo?

Yes

what if we made jets instead of sitting down, you lay forwads like superman

Limited rotational movement of the neck? I think not

Did you know there are more planes in the sea than submarines in the sky

Soooo, hi, I'm writing a novel and since I don't know that much about aerospacial, maybe you will be able to help me guys

What kind of novel?

Well, youth novel, not really political or military based like in the core, but it has some scenes placed in the near future where the characters are drawn into war, and become pilots so I try to get it as realistic as possible ya know

And I have a very complicated and specitic question to ask

Do you consider possible (but very unlikely) that, in order to stop a mid-way launched nuclear warhead in the upper atmosphere in some hypothetical scenario where it's fired on a nation that does not posses the antiballistic missile defence system to intercept it (or does not have it operational in time), would try a desperate attempt by ordering individual pilots in "futuristic" planes, inspired by the Blackbird, equipped with high quality tracking and trajectory devices, to attempt to crash directly into the traveling warhead with the goal to disrupt its trajectory enough to send it diving down into the ocean?

Maybe not actually crash into them, however I have heard about the development of directed energy weapons. And since dews likely will have limitless ammunition, and very long range, that would probably be the best option to destroy an ICBM. Crashing into them is possible but it would be pretty damn hard to even for an exceptional pilot.
