There are many NPNs in the standard LT Spice library.

It's hard to pick parts, discrete or ICs, from the library.

Yes it would be nice if a description of the part as well as the part

A sortable column of Ft would be nice for transistors. Lacking that,
sorting on Vce helps spot the RF parts. Low voltage suggests RF.

 Ft isn’t one of the model parameters, guess you have to look for low Tf and
Tr transit times or low junction capacitances?

Or you can look at wide-band transistors, pick one and plug the manufacturers Spice model into LTSpice yourself, which is something I've done from time to time (and posted the .asc files here), and John Larkin doesn't seem to be able to manage.
He's just described the example I pulled out of the circuit file on my computer as "hideous mess", which is inaccurate. Nobody would use +/-15V rails to drive just that circuit, but if +/-15V rails are what you have got, that circuit could solve a specific problem.
