The airplane on the table is the Hornet, built by McDonnell Douglas.

Used FA18 Hornets rolled out of Boeing's facility at Patuxent River Maryland in August 2000

Several contractors refurbish planes for export. Boeing is one of them. They do not build Hornets.

French jets come with an integrated surrender mechanism that is tripped by any unfriendly radar signal that it detects. Ours do not.

Yeah they sure surrendered when they helped us in the Revolutionary War.

Seems the US had the same outcome in Vietnam as France did and that was after we watched them and theoretically should have learned from their mistakes.

Okay...
I just noted: It's their facility...
I've never been inside, Travelocity gnomes could be building them for all I know

America is swirling ever downward in the culture and influence toilet bowl. The future belongs to the dark-skinned people with Canada, Denmark, Sweden and Norway enjoying a brief ascendancy first.

Hopefully the future belongs to carmel skinned people as people intermingle and race becomes irrelevant.

I thought it belonged to China. Man, you need to make up your mind.
