    A-6 Intruder

    A-10 Lightning Bolt

    F-4 Phantom

    F-16 Fighting Falcon

    AH-64 Apache Longbow

    Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavor.

    all beautiful and fully functional!!



    they do not have to be war birds!!

    L-1011 comes to mind also.
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.
