I left out the Swedish aircraft, too. By the time I get all the interesting and good-looking airplanes listed, I've got every military jet ever flown. OK, I admit it. I like them all. I'd take any one of them in a heartbeat. Even deltas like the F-102 and the Mirages. Mary -- Mary Shafer Retired aerospace research engineer |
