<p>Bobs67: </p> <hr /> <div>&lt;!--Please sign your posts with ~~~~--&gt;<br /> Hi, I have partially added a table, can someone who is better at tables fill it in? Thanks.[[User:Dontknow|Dontknow]] ([[User talk:Dontknow|talk]]) 04:42, 14 April 2017 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I was in Cambridge last week and an Osprey cruised overhead at a very low altitude. Was seriously cool to see. Randall lives nearby. Perhaps that's what inspired this comic? [[Special:Contributions/162.158.75.94|162.158.75.94]] 06:43, 14 April 2017 (UTC)<br /> <br /> When I saw &quot;Hawk&quot; I thought of a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. [[User:RChandra|RChandra]] ([[User talk:RChandra|talk]]) 10:54, 14 April 2017 (UTC)<br /> :That could also be referencing the A-4 Skyhawk (chart updated) [[Special:Contributions/172.68.65.138|172.68.65.138]]<br /> <br /> Corrected some spellings and made the English a bit more idiomatic. Hypersonic is usually considered Mach 5 and higher, so altered that as the SR71 was fast but not that fast. Added reference to the Hawker Sea Hawk to the Hawk discussion, but the silhouette is clearly a BAe Hawk (tailplanes different shape from A4 Skyhawk or Hawker Sea Hawk, and a jet unlike the Cessna).<br /> <br /> [F-15]: &quot;other jets like F-16 have filled its role. The U.S. Air National Guard is the largest operator as of now.&quot; The F-15 is a current, front-line fighter. Only older models are in the ANG.<br /> <br /> [F-16]: &quot;A smaller, more versatile fighter jet.&quot; Just smaller.</div>
