Everyone knows that the one the girls really go for is/was the Nimrod AEO. To a man they are handsome, possess a sparkling wit, were intelligent and like the aircraft, they have a long satisfying endurance (and are much bigger where it matters) - all the qualities the ladies seek. AEO's like the aircraft they used to fly (and often captained), had a long endurance, whereas with the fast jet boys it was all over quickly (unless they had a refuel (Viagra?)).
You know the saying, Shadwell:
"It's not all about the size of the boat, it's about the motion in the ocean."
That's the difference between FJ and ME!
