Re: RAND Bomber

I hope you didn't have to pay $450.00.

A small fraction of that. Still a solid chunk of cash, more than I'd've preferred to spend, but it was that or spend the money on beer and hookers. Since this is Utah...

I know you're a rich American capitalist...

Two out of three ain't bad, I suppose.

Hmmm. Obsolete, outdated, bad for your health. Yup, that's about right. Throw in something to symbolize "financially strapped" and "chick repellant," and you'll have covered all the bases.

I didn't know that the RAND think tank designed aircraft...

If it could fit on carrier elevator it would be better than the A-12 which itself would be much greater than what currently populates carriers.
