The nerd in me would like to point out that the plane in the painting and vid on that page is actually an F-14  |
I noticed that as well, but if you read the full text, they mention the f-14 Tomcat.
My dad worked for GE for almost 40 years. He was their lead aircraft engine designer at the Lynn, MA plant and the FA-18 was one of his projects. When I was a kid he used to take me to the plant where they would test the engines. Talk about a Dyno! :shock:
