| Seems like I saw 'em on an old GD promo video but did the pre-production and/or early block F-16s ever include rear view mirrors on either side of the canopy? And if so, any idea why they were deleted? |

| I worked YF-16, F-16 FSD, Blk 5, Blk 10, and Blk 15 - never saw mirrors on any of them. |

At one time there may have been a request for mirrors from some of the female pilots, or maybe it was the Thunderbirds. The request, if true, was for both mirrors and comb holders. Possibly just one of those inaccurate rumors.

Watch it. The Palin police may come after you for making such astoundingly sexist comments... |

The still minor one, you mean?
How am I a dumbass when you are the one who doesn't understand plural? Putting an "s" at the end of a noun like that indicates more than one thing....daughters means more than 1....she has 3. Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you'd included the preggers one.....despite her being only 17.......still left one of the remaining 2.....hence my question as to which of those you found hottness in.
Just sayin'...... |
