They certainly searched high an dlow to find the fat ugly ones.
"Now Flt. Lt. Jonathan Smith, we are looking for a tall, smart, rugged pilot-type to launch our new action man pilot."
Well count me out, Sir.
"BTW Smith, congratulations on your selection for your exchange posting, with the USAF flying the F-22 Raptor, wasn't it?"
Er, yes Sir, when did you say the launch was Sir, I am looking forward to it.

Seriously, they do seem to have something right at last, provided the price is right. I can see a fair number of sales to service personnel as well. We managd to find a Typhoon last year, about 1:24 scale, with extremely realistic R/T calls. A great hit with the 3-year old grandson. The pilot went everywhere and the aircraft simply wore out. They only cost a tenner.
