'Name The Plane' - ID MAKE And MODEL For Free Bacon! (10.6.12)

North American F-107 - 3 built in the '50's - one on display at the Air Force Museum
 

GAME OVER - correctly ID'd by 'tim' as the North American F-107

 I really thought my cropped pic below would last at least 24 hours in the Name The Plane game, but once again I was wrong. In just 25 minutes, 'tim' provided both the make and model: the North American F-107. Amazing job Tim! I hope you can make it to OSH13 to claim your bacon sandwich prize : )

 The F-107 is a very interesting aircraft, and seeing the one over in Dayton Ohio at the Air Force Museum is really, really cool. The airplane is in the R&D Hangar which allows you to get literally right up to it for close examination. I look it over closely every time I get over there.  

 You can learn a little more about the F-107 in my CoolPix post from December 2010: CoolPix - Modern Military: North American F-107 'Man Eater'. And thanx to everyone who got in on this short-lived Name The Plane game!

GAME OVER - correctly ID'd by 'tim' as the North American F-107
 

 The Name The Plane game is returning at its regular Saturday night slot. If you didn't know, the game pops up with little warning (follow @NameThePlane on twitter for advance notification) and the first person to correctly ID both MAKE and MODEL of the aircraft pictured above will win a bacon sandwich at OSH13!  NOTE: Your answers must go in the 'comments' area in this post.

 Once again I've dug deep into aviation history with this challenge, and I'm specifically hoping that no one comes up with a correct answer in the typical 45 minutes or less. I'd be very happy if we get 24 hours out of this game : )

 All you gotta do is ID both MAKE and MODEL to win - so if you've got sharp aircraft ID skills, be the first person to ID both MAKE and MODEL of this aircraft to be the winner!

 As always, please don't use the shotgun approach to answers - only put up truly educated guesses that you've arrived at via really thinking it thru.

 And I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but to win, you have to give me both the MAKE and MODEL! : )
