Sir, I always enjoy a great story! I joined the Marines in 1974 and we still had the A4D long after I joined. It was never a Four Seater but it was designed to carry Nuclear Weapons.

I think the satirical nature of the uh, story might have been kinda lost in the context of this thread.

Anyway that's what a guy just hauled off and told me one time, so it had to be true... what with him knowing all about that kinda stuff, y'know...

That IS the bird "his name we do not speak" flew back in his day, right?
