Lightning 3
The English Electric Lightning was the ultimate cold war interceptor, basically 2 massive engines in as streamlined a shape as possible. The Lightnings job was to get to incoming Russian bombers as fast as possible. It had a tremendous rate of climb but limited range as unlike modern fighters it wasn't designed as a multi-role aircraft.
