Damn, I thought this was for sure my chance to get jets.

Yeah...but you could always strap a nuc to it and they'd lose track...You'd be good to go.

I could do with a Titan missile...

I've been looking for a launch vehicle to send up a faster-than-light travel project I'm working on...

It says you must agree to cut the plane into 4" pieces.. it didn't say anything about not re-assembling your 4" metal pieces back into an airplane with super glue and liquid nails.

I'm a pragmatist, so I shouldn't feel bad, but 50 or 100 years from now, when the military is cruising in plasma-powered jetpacks or something, we'll wish that those A-4s, F-100s, F-104s, etc, etc, were in the desert, or in a private collectors hands, or keeping a parts stock for other examples. The birds in DM will be like a WWII or WWI plane is now--way more rare that they should be.
