You ever see these unnecessarily fancy paper airplanes called WhiteWings? It was a big envelop/book think full of paperboard think snapout sheets and I seem to remember balsa wood in there as well. You’d assemble them and the kit came with 10-15 planes. One of them was the Phantom. I always felt like that thing just looked fast. They had an F15, F16, P51, Concorde, Wright flyer, all kinds of cool little largely disposable models to build. So of course I’d get a pack of 15, build ‘em in a day and just annoy the hell out of my parents who figured it would keep me busy for at least a week or 2.

Found it!
https://www.ebay.com/itm/154583310290 This was my favorite kit but in the early 90s they made a TON of them.

If you want to go down a rabbit hole, read about the F-4X. Mach 2.4 cruise and Mach 3.2 burst. It could outrun a Mig-25. https://avgeekery.com/the-mach-3-f-4-phantom/ |

He's a great actor, and hasn't just done big budget blockbuster stuff. It's kind of surprising that he's never won an Oscar.

Penny Benjamin. I swear we went over this already but maybe that was a different thread. It was a cool callback.

This woman was in the Navy. Not the Air Force.

The female pilot didn't bother me. She was a minor character, and her being a woman wasn't a big deal, nor was there any sort of subplot about anybody having an issue with it. She was there, did her job, no big deal.

The ideal body type for a fighter pilot is a physically-fit black female. Body weight distribution is key. Learned this 25 years ago in Aviation Medicine class. |
