Dear Capt. Paddles, thanks for straightening me out on this. I have always wanted to ride in an F-18 with the canopy off and let the wind blow in my hair. In a single seat model, I would have no choice but to sit on the driver's lap. We just won't be able to do loop de loops.

In the movies, we see the pilot's call sign on the airplane and not his real name. Or is that just Hollywood?

Don't worry, my friends, I promise not to give up my day job, I promise not to join the military, and I promise not to wrestle down to the ground the next unsuspecting old Hornet guy I meet!
