I like the Blue Angels (used to live down the street from the Naval Academy and a neighbor was in them, so he'd always do fly-bys during practice) and fighter jets are cool. I'll put up $100.

As duly appointed XO of our aircraft carrier, I reserve the right to fly our new F/A-18 anytime I bloody well please.
Especially on bombing runs at my company's office. |

The ferrari went cheap. Something about it always needing to be in the shop. . .
As the F-18. Spare parts anyone? It may work once, but those things are constantly being broken down & rebuilt. It's not like a car where you can just change the oil & gas her up. Hell, Iran has a handfull of F-14's. They dont' do anything, because they don't work. The moment the Shah went bye bye, so did our parts supply, and they became so much lethal junk. |
