Didn't the EA-8 have gold in parts of the canopies to protect the crew from all of the electronic emissions.  I wonder if these do also.

I still swear that the reimagined BSG Colonial Viper was inspired by the Harrier. Look at all the obvious vectored combat maneuver scenes and compare that the the experiences of RN pilots during the Falklands War.

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 was watching Generation Kill on Prime and my son's been watching it with me (I saw it some years ago once already). When the A-10s flashed by he asked what they were, and I proudly told him what they could do. One scene had them BRRRRRRRRRPing and that led to some YouTube videos of A-10s chewing the crap out of tanks. :)
