Well, actually, there are MANY F-somethings among America's warcraft. Which is why I wouldn't presume to know which ones are terrorizing every creature in my neighborhood and bombarding us with noxious fumes.
Here are some:
F-1 Fury
F-2 Banshee
F-3 Demon
F-4 Phantom
F-5 Freedom Fighter ( and F-5E Tiger 2)
F-6 Skyray
F-7 Cutlass
F-8 Crusader
F-9 Panther/ Cougar
F-10 Skyknight
F-11 Tiger
F-12 ( YF-12 prototype, never went into service )
F-13 ( never used for obvious reasons )
F-14 Tomcat
F-15 Eagle ( and F-15E Strike Eagle )
F-16 Fighting Falcon
F-17 ( YF-17 prototype which lost to the YF-16 )
F-18 Hornet ( AF-18 and AF-18E Super Hornet )
F-19 ( reported as some "stealth" prototype which never entered production, or did it ? )
F-20 Tigershark ( upgraded F-5E Tiger which never entered service )
F-21 Kfir ( Israeli - modified Mirage-3 used for a while by aggressor squadrons )
F-22 Raptor
F-23 ( prototype Yf-23 which lost to YF-22 )
F-35 Lightning 2 ( aka JSF )
All I know is, they don't make beautiful music and they certainly drive a hardworking person out of their "home" on a weekend when they need some rest after working hard all week. Of course, they never do this over the estates of the wealthy who profit from the warmakers.
Thank goodness for life's better human beings: From whom, for example, I've heard most of Rarer Matt disc 2 today but will need to hear it all again with no distractions/driving among Colorado's common sense challenged. So far I REALLY LOVE ESPECIALLY:
Once In Every Long and Lonely While
Let's Find an Island
The World I Used to Know
You're Driving Me Crazy/The Song Is You
You'll Never Know
What Is This Thing Called Love?
More THANK YOUs to Michele and Richard for your excellent important work in bringing us these beautiful recordings! Thanks for keeping Matt's intros in some of these. I just love to hear him speak and then sing. An absolute One-in-a-BUZZILLION especially exquisite human being, our Matt!
