Not the MiG 25, Sparky; but here's a bonus clue to reward your efforts. Thanks; Ernie P.
What warbird do I describe?
1. This aircraft was originally designed to serve one purpose, but wound up serving several.
2. But it was never a star performer in its original purpose; although that could be argued.
3. And it gave birth to an entire family of aircraft.
4. It was originally intended to be a fighter.
5. But it was decided, after testing, it wasn’t maneuverable enough to successfully fulfill the role of a fighter.
6. It was, however, rugged and solidly built and easily controlled.
7. It was very fast.
8. And it could climb rapidly.
9. And it had a high ceiling.
