Awesome!
Just showed it to my son and explained a thing or two about the superiority of "American Made".

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

Some of the scenes were indeed recreated and one just spliced in out of nowhere. They show A-4s climbing, and the F-14 pilot refers to an A-4, but the aircraft they show flying inverted is an F-100, also American made and an outstanding airframe, but dating from mid-1950s.

I am a one-man army against the posting police, but this one is at least 10 years old!
And posted at least once a year for the last 8 years (that I know of).
Maybe we should have a permanent Freeper thread called "Freeper Classics?"
