Had to close my coffee shop today for annual judicial training in Seattle. Since the weather was so bad after lunch, I ducked into a bookstore to browse around a bit. There was a book on all the different kinds of fighter planes ever made and flown. Of course, I leafed through the pages looking at pictures and of course, stopped to read about the Hornet.
It says the Hornet is so versatile that "with a flip of a switch" it can go from a fighter (presumably the "F") to an attack jet (presumably the "A"). What on earth kind of switch can do something like that??? There must be a difference in fighter and attack that I know nothing about.
What do I know about the plane; I just know a certain fella who used to fly it.
Say, maybe I should ask him!
