Screw the Harrier. I'm looking at getting us one of the new VTOL Joint
Strike Fighters. Optics are so good you can pinpoint the spin fisherman
in the middle of a bunch of fly fishermen and take him out with a
precision 500 pounder.

Overkill, and risking collateral damage, but otherwise ethical. :-)

Yeah that's the craft I want to crash in! Isn't that the plane-o-chopper
that the top Marine brass kept falsifying reports on?

Mark --those daring young men and there sometimes flyin' machines.--

Nah, that was the V-22 Osprey. The Osprey has most of the bugs worked
out of it and is now a pretty fine aircraft, but it doesn't (at least
not operationally) fire missiles or drop bombs. Its a transport. The
F-35B is the Marine Corps STOVL (Short Take Off - Vertical Landing)
version of the JSF. Its the replacement for the Harrier.
