I just hope it isn't the last manned fighter aircraft...


Back in the 60s, Bill Mauldin did a lovely cartoon. A jet pilot is sitting on
the wheel of his F-104 despondently reading an article claiming that fighter
aircraft will soon be automated. Joe (one of Mauldin's WW II characters - an
infantryman) walks up and say "Don't let it get to ya, bub. I been obsolete fer
20 years."

I think that cartoon still applies.

Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a person to
use the Internet and he won't bother you for weeks.
