Yeah, if you're gonna spill the classified info, it's better to just p.m. parrothead and me, rather than put it out for general consumption.  |

Thanks Guy's but classified will stay classified and it's not part of the "PAYBACK TIME" deal. However, I will manage to dig up more factual stories that can escape this area of confinement.
Thanks for the welcome and hope to see many more responses as time goes by.

So...can you please explain, in detail, with pictures if possible, how to manufacture a nuclear weapon and delivery device using nothing more than bubble gum, windex, jackalope ears, and a box of matches?
Sorry, couldn't help it Welcome, and looking forward to what you have to add to the site!

| Guess now seems like a good time to introduce myself. I'll just say that I am truly envious of most of you. I'm not a pilot, but the F-16 is truly a love of mine. My first taste of it was when I watched Iron Eagle as a kid...a week later my dad was helping me put together a 1:36 scare model of the F-16C Block 50. So needless to say, I love that jet, and my true dream is to sit in the cockpit of one of them. Oh well, anyway, I love this site, and I figured I would introduce myself to the people who are living a dream! haha. |

| There aren't a lot of movies that include our aircraft, but keep searching. Iron Eagle is a classic but can lead to a rude awakening. |

| haha...believe me...i know the difference between movie and reality. Please, 1 F-16 taking out an entire squadron of jets? BULL! Still, it was my fave F-16 movie. Any others you might recommend that are better? or just damn good? |

It makes perfect sense. The US was the first, by almost all accounts, to have nukes ready. Jackalopes are native to the American mid/south west. The first nukes were tested in the mid/southwest. Its the secret ingredient that got us the weapons first, and made ours the most powerfull. |
