Slartibartfast Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) Pig 1: Fox 12! Fox 12! Pig 2: No way, dude. I called a Fox 8 on you earlier. You're dead. Pig 1: Uh-uh. That shot just knocked a pylon off. I hit you square in the APU. Pig 2: Forget you, man! Fox 14 with a depleted uranium FFR! That hit your tail hook and didn't stop until it lodged against the cockpit bulkhead. Pig 1: No WAY! No such thing as a Fox 14. You're stupid. I'm not playing with you anymore.

Fishwelding Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) Why did they steal that name form the F-4 anyway?Tony I don't know, but it just doesn't pay to offend the gods with such hubris. Whoever decided to pilfer one of the Sacred Almighty Spooky's monikers just to prevent confusion when landing F/A-18s is dangerously messing with celestial powers they can't begin to comprehend. Good luck with that provoking-divine-wrath plan. :) Edited September 29, 2007 by Fishwelding Link to post Share on other sites
