Who knows, I think Gerald Ford was the last one.
But that last audaciuosly gutsy hawk just left office last January, with all his faults, he was a hell of a Commander In Cheif. If the New Iraq and Afghanistan succeed on their own eventually, history will rate him a huge hero.

Great model! Love the double-delta / canard arrangement. Personally I would've filled out the forward half of the delta wing a bit more, in order to make it flush with the rest of the wing. Nice color scheme!

just something that resulted from a bit of fun between me and a certain English Lady! actually,this design is quite feasible,a lot of thought and practical knowledge went into it. thanks for the fave!

Believe it or not, in between deviations I'm actually an aircraft engineer (which is why I made the aerodynamic remark in my last comment) and I agree, the design is feasible. As you said yourself, it has similarities with the Sonic Cruiser.
Greetz.
Ps: IMO Boeing should've continued with the MD12 design i.s.o. the Cruiser

what a shame about the SoniCruiser. and my Company,s ex-CEO,Gordon Bethune was really interested in it too! if Boeing had gone ahead and built it,he would certainly have bought a fleet of them! what company do you work for?

Gordon Bethune ay? Looks like we're Skyteam colleagues... I'm with the blue birds! The Cruiser would've been one hell of a crate to look at, but its fuel economy just wasn't good enough. They called it the Chronic Boozer for good reason. Still a shame though...

a shame it was! i would have liked to see a new shape in the sky! but at least i can make models and have fun that way. i may make another one of these,but in airline colors. blue birds/Skyteam? ok,now i know who you,re with!

a Visitor From the Future! how would you react if you looked out of the terminal window at MSP and saw one of those parked on the gate? Mmmmmm! Slick! and very fast!{transsonic}not quite as fast as a Concorde,but able to operate economically,with tickets at popular prices for most travellers! i think most travellers would line up around the block to fly on this bird and cut travel time almost in half! Businessmen:Time=Money!
