Its great stuff. Only thing that really irritates me is that when we come out with something neat (like the A-Bomb) the Russians and others are always close behind us with something similar. In this case like the T-50 advance model and others. Its pretty coincidental that their design (like the controls on the T-50) are identical to ours and the basic design looks like the Raptor. We need to start shooting or really putting the screws to people that sell our secrets for a relatively small amount of money. Grrrrr. Ooops, I think I went on a rant in a good post.

So if they get a really BIG amount of money, then it's ok?

Hmmph. You know what I mean you troublemaker. Wonder if you can rent one of those F-35's by the hour cause I dont think I can afford to buy one.

No, but I helped the wright brothers put the wings on their experimental aircraft once.
