Weren't they flawed or something? I seem to remember they stayed out of mass production for a reason 

They were some of the most beautiful and sweet flying machines from what I heard. Very unique sound as the jet exhaust goes through the prop.  People said that was bad but there were no issues that I heard about.

Burt Rutan used one as a chase plane for the Space ship one and white knight projects.

Another fine McDonnell Douglas product, except that is before the merger so it is a fine McDonnell Aircraft  product.  :599c64b15e0f8_thumbsup:

It has the correct number of engines, but is missing a hook and one more vertical stabilizer.  :biggrin:

You know that I wasn't part of that project because that aircraft  has a T-tail. 

Plus, I was only seven years old when that aircraft entered service.

However, I did have my junior slide rule by then.
