[quote:c61a3] I can do that with an F4U Corsair for much less money.
plus instead of one neat laser hole their plane will have "the whole nine yards" of .50 caliber ammo (US planes used 9 yard ammo belts, the origin of this quote) [/quote:c61a3]


Stryker, actually the term "The whole nine yards" came from the Scottish kilts. The kilts were composed of 9 yards of fabric and wrapped around their body multiple times.

I like the airplane one better, I just had to let you know you're wrong angel:
