This will be hype with f106 and f102 does anyone know if theres a f103
??
It’s supposed to be Republic F-103, an interceptor with a mach 3 capability, but it never progressed past the mockup stage.
Thanks :D i didnt know why there was a gap
almost got all the forgotten cold waar planes in tthe suggesttion box now just b52 v bombers b58 b46 tu95 and few misc ones
I don’t know battle rating 9.3 or 9.7
Located after F-100D to rank VI but before F-4C ?
The Century Series is just kinda odd like that. They went F-100, F-101, F-102, skipped F-103 (reserved for XF-103 which never made it past the mockup stage, as Nostalgisitc mentioned), F-104, F-105, F-106, F-107 was the competitor to the F-105, XF-108 never made it past the mockup stage, and there was no F-109. The Phantom might’ve been considered a Century Series aircraft had it kept the designation of “F-110A Spectre” in US service, but it never did.
What’s even funnier is after the F-111, there were also the “F-112”, “F-113”, and a few other odd designations (like YF-118G), but all of those were used for either evaluated Soviet/Chinese aircraft, or Black Projects.
