Very cool. Pretty sure I’ve never seen the Queen smile quite so much at any event.

Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few
(Sir Winston Churchill discussing the contributions of the RAF during The Battle Of Britain.)

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Glad to see that they're buying F-35s. Someone pointed out back in the 1970s that the way we were able to afford F-16s was that we sold so many to foreign governments that it kept down the per-plane price tag. I saw yesterday that India had dropped plans to buy or jointly produce Russian jets in favor of F-35s as well.

Yrs,
