Anything can fly if a big enough engine is put on it.

DOPEY.... On the ground it will have all the protection afforded by Balsa wood and glue. IEDs no bigger than cherry
bombs will disable it.

Whats the mission it will satisfy? Fly until it’s its hit, that what.

Armament will be provided by roll down windows that the doomed crew can shoot their M9s out of.

American Motors (AMC) paid for product placement in that Bond movie. Was Mitt’s old man the CEO back then?

LOL! 007 in the nice Aston Martin DBS in the recent Casino Royale versus 007 showing up in a Pacer.

Ya baby! The F4 is like a sexy, classy, 50 year old. Yes she may past her prime, but she still has that ability to make
you look twice. RAARRRRRRRR...
