That cockpit glass, in particular, is giving Moldy Crow.

Exactly! It really feels like this is where they got the inspiration.

What if the SR-71 but in space?

Oh that is sexy.

I wonder if this design served as the inspiration for this ship, used a couple of times on Buck Rogers:

Oh yeah, that design was a favorite when I was a kid

Looks uncannily like Cyclonus' jet mode from the 1986 Transformers Movie. Boy, those forward-swept wings were popular at the time, weren't they?

Kyle? Jan? That ya'll?

Yoo, I didn’t know there was a bomber variant design. Super interesting to see what could have been.

That's pretty sweet. I bet it has tandem sitting.

Very Starbird.
