Huge Spike In Americans Buying F-15s After Biden Suggests You'll Need Them To Overthrow Government
The Babylon Bee ^ | 06/23/2021 | Staff

U.S.—The nation scrambled to buy F-15s and nuclear weapons after President Biden said in a speech Wednesday that you'll never beat a government unless you have the fighter jets and intercontinental ballistic missiles

All over the nation, American citizens were seen parking their brand-new F-15s in their driveways and garages. Some wealthier Americans purchased the F-22, while less fortunate citizens were forced to buy the F-35 joint fighter. But no matter what craft they chose, American citizens said they were just glad to finally be protected against a tyrannical government.

"I need an F-15 to beat the government? Say no more, fam!" said one man in New Hampshire as he happily rushed out to his local F-15 dealer to pick up the latest model. "Before, I thought my AR-15 would be enough, but when Biden pointed out that the U.S. government has fighter jets and I only have an assault rifle, I realized I really needed to beef up my anti-tyranny defense systems."

"Thanks, Mr. Biden! I sure am glad you reminded me of how brutal a government can be against its own citizens and how governments throughout history have in fact attacked their own people once they are disarmed and helpless."

The man was later seen picking up an M1 Abrams tank.

You’re not serious about winning without an AC 130 parked in your back yard.

Back about 15 years ago or so we all got excited here on FR when a surplus aircraft carrier was up for sale on eBay. With some research we found out it was originally British built and was at the time docked in Brazil. Some of us felt it would be good force projection for FR since we’d have deferred to Jim to be commander in chief.

I wonder if they could put Rolls Royce Merlin engines in a P-38.

One would have to be built to rotate opposite the other.

I think the super charger location may have been an issue. I don’t think the speed would have improved much. The Lightening was aptly named and the later models could hit 450 mph and push the sound barrier in a dive.

Since the Lancaster, and Mosquito bombers used that engine they had them turned both ways.

Another funny what if: What if the British had bought a right to manufacture the 2000 HP, Pratt and Whitney Double Wasp engine that was used in the F4U Corsair and F6F Hell Cat and strapped one on to the front of a Hawker Hurricane?
