On 24 Mar 98 17:40:14, a Gin and Tonic at the Angler's Rest overheard
Earnest Padgette say to Pete Granzeau:
EP> Again, each society created a weapon best suited to it's troops
EP> But the Russian pilots were very lucky they never had to pit th
EP> Mig against the F-15's. They'd have lost big-time. Ernie P.
But the MiG-25 wasn't designed to fight F-15s, it was designed to shoot
down 747 airliners.
