   Raptors rock. I don't think I've seen one fly in person yet. There's always   
   the ongoing debate as to whether manueverability is more important than   
   speed, firepower and armor, ie, the super-nimble Zero versus most of the US   
   Navy aircraft.  Yeager insists that in the end, it comes down to the pilot   
   (within reason.)   
      
   By the way, there was a C-47 with turboprop retrofits painted up in shiny   
   USFS firefighting colors at Troutdale on Saturday. From the amount of people   
   standing around gawking at it, it didn't look like it was going anywhere in   
   a hurry.
