F5 & C5, I think. F106 & C141 The plan was to have 24/7 'all-weather, on-demand' replacement capability for the Iridium (and I suppose most other low orbit) constellation satellites. The F106 was dynamically stable in low tow, allowing hands off towing. High tow it had to be flown. 23,000lb weak link IIRC. Engine in the F106 was running at idle for safety's sake.
