| #3 The Head makes it sound like they used a Humvee to get the bomber. Wrong. The bad guys had their own Humvee. (It is probably cheaper than trying to get factory service in AFG, though.) |

| #2 I love that one, Bright Pebbles. I'm very glad they made it then -- I suspect it could not be made now. |
