The big one is probably the Grumman F11-1F Super Tiger. It was to the original tiger what the super hornet is to the hornet. Powered by the same engine as the F-104 and also Mach 2 but a more conventional design. It was supposed to win the German contract but Lockheed bribed the Germans to win. They were later caught in a major bribing scandal, turns out they had been bribing everyone to buy to the F-104. The Super Tiger would have been a better all rounder which is what the Germans wanted. It's more conventional layout would have also made it far more forgiving to fly and it had a large nose that could have fitted a decent radar for sparrows.
