I work on an aircraft carrier... I could supply the hornet, but to be
honest, I'd much rather race a Tomcat than a hornet... did you know that
they (airframers) have to do a structural integrity check *every* time a
hornet breaks the speed of sound? It just wasn't meant to go fast... the
Tomcat just dont feel right under 1000 knots... but for the ultimate thrill
of speed, I'd either have to race in an SR-71 (now retired.. again) or in a
MiG-25 Foxbat. Those were the two planes that constantly fought over the
absolute speed record. SR-71 won, but the MiG-25 is a lot smaller.

Also, the F-15 Eagle from them zoomies goes pretty damn quick, too.

Sorry to go off on a tangent.
