I'm getting too old to keep up with all these new weapon systems. Call me when we get to the Phaser.  :sigh:

Its been laid up and out of service for years.

I'd give it a pass in the same way you could include those giant military beach assault hovercraft. Both technically float on air while moving.

It would be a real shame if the world lost the 'Caspian Sea Monster', as the CIA nicknamed it. it is unarguably a piece of history.

Somewhere there is a great vid of a Tornado, looking DOWN into the cockpit from the hillside. The W/O is holding up a sign with an arrow pointing to the pilot, and the words 'I'm with an idiot' written on it. Absolute classic.
