Good afternoon manna, I'm way behind today!

Well..
You could make a hoopskirt wing to make said witch fly.
(Sort of a circular wing, can also be a ducted fan inside it....)
There's also a smaller B-2 like aircraft, has an f-16 style canopy blended into the center body (Similar to how the SR071 blends in body, but with an F-16 style bubble instead), twin engines similar to the B-2's quad pods.
And instead of the triple sawtooth on teh trailing edge, there's a single 'tooth'. Flaperons as normal, and possibly inward canted tails over top the exhausts.
(optional..)
Or, there's this neat flying disc deal.
Has a vertical ducted fan, with servo activated side ducts for directional control.
(Dual engines work best.....)
A few ideas to check into.

Possibly.
As my uncle later said, "She may have had a face like a horse, but her body was.."
Mom smacked him in the head before he finished.

Afternoon w/w. I didn't see the Right Stuff but I did read the book years ago. I have a huge list of movies I need to see.
To: Samwise
Missed breakfast but as long as SAM hasn't eaten them all I'll have one for lunch. Thanks.
To: SAMWolf; Darksheare
Ahem. I can still look in from afar fellas. :)
Hmm. Yesterday, today... we're going to have to have a talk.
LOL
To: snippy_about_it

My buddies and I would gather on the roof at base ops at Sawyer and watch the F-106's take off in the evening.
When those buggers would fire up their afterburners they'd light up the sky.
sure do miss those days...

To: Northern Yankee
sure do miss those days... I know the feeling. I got the chance to refuel a couple of F106's. They were still used by a few gaurd units in the early '80's.
