[QUOTE=passpartout]No, I don't think it's an insult to previous generations.

Oh, I think it is.

In world War 2, many singleton Hurricanes or Mosquitos took out several tanks.

In Aden a single Hunter could take out half a convoy of vehicles.

In the 70's a Phantom could do just about anything - USAF Tombs proved that in Vietnam.

1980,s one aircraft could fly several thousand miles and scare the crap out of the Argies.

1990's - GW1 - Two aircraft could take out a HAS. One Tornado carrying a bomb and one Buccaneer carrying a pod. Several weeks later one Tonka could carry both. Many pics around to prove it.

The above reading is fact. The last two pics in the link have yet to be proved.

YES I do feel the pic is an insult to our previous aircrew.

PS Sorry to "The Rocket" for repeating what you have stated.
