That's a pretty fucking epic second though. Anyone who drove the Lead Sled is okay.

True. It was not an easy life for those guys. The Thud was kind of the Bf110 of it's time, too big to be a fighter, too small to be a bomber, yet expected pass as both.

Just as an aside here, did you watch the pseudo-pixar film 'Planes'? When the main plane character gets lost at sea he is escorted to a USN carrier by two F/A-18s. The two Hornets are voiced by non other than Anthony Edwards and Val Kilmer.

Heh, I didn't know that. I saw the movie but don't remember it.

They stole that from the US Navy.

Considering the Russian proclivity for hacking I'd think that the Poles would have traded in their MiGs by now for something that had avionics without legacy back-door exploits.

Heh. I doubt the current avionics on Polish Mig-29s has much in common with Russian systems.

also theres the question of whether or not vacuum tube analog systems can be hacked.
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

^I love stories like that. Having a military/civilian pilot for a dad meant that my childhood was full of them. Sadly, I've forgotten most of them and, at 80 years old, so has he.
