    This was actually posted very briefly on the McDonnell Douglas website by an employee there who obviously has a sense of humour. The company, of course, does not (have a sense of humour) - and made the web department take it down immediately. (In case you don't know: McDonnell Douglas is one of the world's chief suppliers of military aircraft).

    And to continue this weeks theme. McDD are now part of Boeing www.boeing.com :rolleyes:

    And they didn't make either the F-14, F-16 or the F-117A - Grumman and Lockheed Martin did.
