I know it’s fake, but I found this statement interesting:

’ F/A-37 ... with approximately a 4,000nm range. ‘

That would be 4000 nanometers or 4 x 10-9 meter, which is nothing.

Errr... 4,000 nm is equal to 4,000 nautical miles, with one nautical mile being about 6,076 ft.

4,000 nm = 4,603.12 sm - where sm is statute miles.

nm has nothing to do with that foreign metric stuff...:^)

nm means nautical miles, not nanometers.
