It always used to scare the pants off me when you got abeam the props on the intercept. Seemed like a bezillion counter-roating parts that were ready to be chucked in your cockpit. Sounded quite nice too until the pesky blighter started the min speed climb and you fell back to earth, all embarrased in your shiny pursuit ship.
Without starting a major conspiracy theory, maybe they didn't take piccies of the F3 coz they already have some. Most of the F1,2,3,4 etc mates have them coming out of their ears.
