Okay.

High by-pass fan ration gives the lowest hear signature and thats helps a great deal when it comes to MANPADS and other such heat-seekers. Thought the shooting through schools thing was odd. What's the context of that MSM question?

Lots of fun flying a jet with the biggest gun around---ever.

Context of MSM question...

First, the shooting through schools. I think the movie was "Johnny Danerously" or something like that. A guy pulls a enormous handgun out of his jacket and someone says, "Man what is that!" to which he responds, "It's an 88 magnum, it shoots through schools."

Well my buddy and I were listening to some MSM idiot reporter asking an A-10 pilot fresh from a mission (pointing at the gun muzzle on the A-10), "So what is this thing and what does it do?" Of course this was also when the MSM was reporting outside the "Baby Milk Factory". We immediately both thought the same thing regarding an appropriate answer, "That there, is a 30mm cannon, it shoots through schools."

I'm very familiar with the nice IR qualities of high-bypass. Its also nice having them outside of the fuselage.
