Hahahaha, nice. At least you're a good sport about it. Besides, your penchant for our fighters is great. Ex-Air Force SSgt here. 8 years. Not a jet driver, but was around them constantly as a cop in the USAF. Seen an F-22 scream over your head yet? Amazing site. That said, nothing touches a P-51d Mustang from WWII for pure beauty.

Have only seen the F22 on the internet. Looks pretty nice, but I admire the lines of the Lawn Dart better. On the other side, I'd also like a ride in the A10. I knew a woman (don't remember her rank) who worked on the Wart. I hope the Goubbmint keeps the Wart around as they have the BUFFS.

Our VP Sales was a P51 pilot based in Europe during WWII. Shot down a lot of Germans Fokkers? (I think, I was a kid when he shared his war experience).

Then again, I'm not sure if he used that expression as opposed to the other F-word, due to my my being a youngster.
