The sad truth is that our kids are flying around in planes that were
designed during the Nixon administration, and were built when Reagan
was president.

To put that in perspective, that would be like our fathers and
grandfathers flying Spads and Sopwith Camels against the Luftwaffe in
1943.


No it wouldn't
