  1. Would a cheap plane like that be of no military value today?

    It amazes me how much they spend on planes today, due to research and low batch numbers it seems.

    2. Hi, Weaver! "Cheap." Forgive me, but "inexpensive" would have the word of choice. Cheap suffers from the stigma of being of poor quality. I'm NOT trying to be a wiseguy, but it took several readings before I took your meaning. I fully concur with your last sentence. Take care. I pray a blessing upon you and yours in the name of the Lord, Allen.
