I guess the simple sight of "birds" like a pair of F-15E's with U.S.
markings would:

1) Surely make the Japs realize that surprise had been lost. No "Tora
Tora Tora".

2) Probably make the Jap CO think that there were others "birds like
that" at Pearl and that he better call his planes back. Hehe. Who
would wnat to go to war, in 1941, with a country that had weapons like
the Strike Eagle? :-)

1 + 2 = No need to strike the carriers. Just the sight of those Eagles
would
be enough to make the Japs **** in their pants and sail back to Japan
as
fast as they could. :-)


Thats not the Japanese way.

Aggressive and brutal as they were they never hesitated
to attack even when the odds were stacked against them.
You can criticise their morality and judgement but they
were supremely courageous.
