As opposed to Fred's private F-16 fighter jet? Cheez, these guys at least used to know how to write.

#7 LotR - I saw McNamara on the tube the other night - mebbe he can help with those F-111 parts. As for the Camino, I need some wheels - what kind of shape is the body in? Any rust? Frame straight? 350? Bubbles in the dash? ;-)

#13 "Military F-16 fighter jets have also shadowed some foreign flights from Air France and other airlines arriving at major American cities, including Los Angeles, an administration official said."

LGF/Rantburg monitoring report vindicated.
Well well, not a black helicopter in the lot. I guess the lefty selecto-scoffers need to save the tinfoil for their own paranoid conspiracy theories.
