It'll be good to get the AV-8B out of serivce. That thing is a pilot killer.

That is an incredible machine.

My inner capitalist and extreme patriot, however, doesn't like the idea of several other countries having access to such a sweet plane.

That is cool. It's amazing how stable it looks while landing, too.
