I bet if we all chip in, we can get this.  It is built about 25 miles away from me, so maybe I can get us the 'local resident' price.

I'm in for 10 bucks.

Meh.  Too big.  Too slow.  Too pedestrian.

Got any leads on a Concorde or SR71?

This is APS. We need an AC130U Spooky instead.

Why do I have the feeling that the "BAR" mentioned is just a regular bar capitalized for emphasis?

Heh. My first thought was "BAR? That's neat. Little too wimpy for engaging targets from an aircraft, though. Maybe it's to repel borders when landed..."

Then I realized it was the boring kind of bar.

I thought we were saving up for an anti-pirate Q-ship?  I ain't contributing to both.

I'd really rather have the boat. Less chance of an alcohol-related mishap.

On the other hand, the aircraft has a built-in plank ...

Do you know who you’re dealing with here?

When we lived on an 800 acre lake, my dumb ass neighbor collided with another boat.  They were the only two boats on the lake at the time.

^ wasn't he Air Force and he wants the boat?

I think we'll go with the boat...

I've been in the Air Guard for seven years, and the only military aircraft I've ever had a ride in was an Army UH-60.  It's nigh on impossible to get a ride on an aircraft around here what with the wings that don't spin in circles.  The "Space Available" program for rides requires the pilot to actually release seats on said flights, and since most flights are for official training purposes, no seats are released for people that don't need to be on the mission.
