How disappointing—I thought I was going to read about actual pianos that fly while you play them. Now THAT would be worth the expense.

....actual pianos that fly ....

The F-35 does have a piano aboard to fight pilot boredom on those long bombing missions. It can be played manually, or with a DVD. It is called the Wurlitzer Option.

The F-35 can perform close air support, carry 122 tons of smart bombs, simultaneously engage enemy fighters in low and high altitude dogfights, land on a carrier, on a highway near your home, on a high school baseball field or volleyball court, go from 0 to 1200mph in 6.3 seconds, get 40 mpg, Can take off and land vertically, as long as the next stop is a gas station, and at the same cost as 45 obsolescent, funky-looking, and really slow A-10s, or 20 of those F-16s that are so yesterday, is actually quite a bargain.

I know what you are thinking. "Can you afford this plane?" Of course, you can! As long as you are a semi-responsible foreign government you qualify for low-cost airplane loans, which can be forgiven if our government feels like it. But you ask, "What if the pilots don't play the piano?" This is a problem in foreign lands where pilots are often skilled bouzouki or gamelan players, but know bupkis from pianos. In that case, the foreign buyers would benefit from the Piano Lesson DVD which plays on the HUD. It is FREE when you order the Wurlitzer Option.

Stop by your F-35 Dealer today!

If you build them in China, they will play Chopsticks.
