“Boeing’s iron Eagle”
Just rubs me the wrong way.
McDonnell Douglas’ Iron Eagle
John Boyd’s Iron Eagle
Boeing’s only real contribution was buying it. (and I have nothing against Boeing)
Too bad Cheney killed off the Tomcat.
What we OUGHT to do is 229 up engine our 220s and sell them to be replaced with F-15SEs. I know where there are a few starter squadrons.
SKan the F-35 and move ahead. While at it SK L-M fighters and move on.
