Hey, has anybody else seen the "Follow Topic" turning off without you doing anything? For a while I thought it was me, but it just did it again and I know it wasn't me.

3. Long service history...
4. Described by many as Ugly
5. Subsonic
6. Sometimes incorrectly referred to as a fighter
7. More than 100 built
8. Early testing with vectored thrust but eliminated for production airplanes.
9. Shares a unique design feature with the F-89 and several current day aircraft.

Are we talking about decelerons and the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II?
Could not find any references to it being tested with vectored thrust though. Fits otherwise.

The Quiz plane is not the A-10
1. A monoplane
2. Crew of two but could be flown by one
3. Long service history...
4. Described by many as Ugly
5. Subsonic
6. Sometimes incorrectly referred to as a fighter
7. More than 100 built
8. Early testing with vectored thrust but eliminated for production airplanes.
9. Shares a unique design feature with the F-89 and several current day aircraft.
10. Yes it dos have the same feature unique on the A-10. and at least one other current airplane.
11. On of the first airplanes to have multiple computers and systems tied together to make it a more accurate weapons platform.
Not surprisingly it suffered from system reliably until the bugs were worked out.
12. It could carry tactical Nuclear weapons
