Love this site. The Blinder has fascinated me for years with its good looks. Even have a plastic model. Surprised to find it was such a lousy aircraft. Reminds me of some women I have known.

The TU-22 Blinder was a complete turkey of an aircraft. With its terrible view from the pilots cockpit & its poor take off & low speed performance contributed to many accidents. Apparantley it was an handful to even the most accomplished pilots. On the plus side it was extremeley good looking.
