Off topic, but I wonder how many warplanes there are in all of the combined air forces on earth.

I used to work on those old, beat up, D704 buddy stores...and saw a few canopies get replaced after they got raked with a damaged drogue basket that was moving all over the place. I heard the pilot said it was performing a figure-eight!
