1: The man has the God given right to exaggerate. Not to mention the 10% rule.
2: I don’t think I have ever taken the time to add the “A” on to F-18. Usually just say Hornet.

Ha. Nope.
I’m just shy of 600 now.
Hoping to be at 750 by the end of the year.

Even with the restricted ATP the bigs don’t seem to even consider us until 1000 turbine PIC though.

I am old and my memory is not as good as it used to be but this is what I was thinking, especially based on the year quoted. Blackbird was the replacement to U2. Blackbird hit the boards in mid 60's not mid 50's.

Valid.

I think that might have flown to high over your heads.
Next you are going to tell me the Germans were not the ones that bombed Pearl Harbor
