And I hear if you have a basic understanding of computer systems and know a reservist Colonel, you can hack into the flight schedule, reserve two fighters fully loaded down with as much ordnance as they can carry, and go on a rescue mission to save your father who was shot down in disputed airspace.

The mention of "planes from different eras" alludes to the fact that military aircraft are often still in use after a much longer time than they were originally designed for. Examples of this are the US Air Force's B-52 bomber, first introduced in 1955 (62 years before the publication of this comic) and the C-160 Transall, which has been in service in, e.g., the German Luftwaffe, since 1967 (50 years before). Additionally, aircraft museums typically house military aircraft from previous eras, such as from WWII and the Cold War, to show the evolution in aircraft design and to showcase technological advances. | The mention of "planes from different eras" alludes to the fact that military aircraft are often still in use after a much longer time than they were originally designed for.

It struck me as more, if not entirely, the latter. I didn't perceive any allusion to the fact that "military aircraft are often still in use after a much longer time than they were originally designed for" [[Special:Contributions/162.158.74.51|162.158.74.51]] 05:13, 15 June 2017 (UTC) | It struck me as more, if not entirely, the latter.

:I've removed the C-160 Transall because the German Luftwaffe doesn't belong to any US Air Base. But have you ever seen a B-52 bomber? It's a really historic plane.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 12:31, 15 June 2017 (UTC) | :I've removed the C-160 Transall because the German Luftwaffe doesn't belong to any US Air Base.

;Implication of pursuit? | ;Implication of pursuit? | ||
− | + | The implication is that there was no museum to begin with and Cueball went to observe the actual air force base and '''''is now being pursued by the military'''''. | |
I don't think there's anything to credibly suggest Cueball is being pursued. Hearing helicopters implies they are close enough to perceive a military operation of some sort, but it could easily be launching aircraft departing to another destination as it might be pursuit of Cueball. Is there anything to justify the last 7 words?

::I think you mean "ordnance," not "ordinance."
