It is (I think) but was it not called something else in the USAF?
'We few, we happy few, we band of brothers'

'Clip those corners'

Recombobulate the discombobulators!

Staggerwing

The other name was the Intruder (or Night Intruder, depending on version).
Vituð ér enn - eða hvat?  -Voluspa

Nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls and nothing's ever worth the cost...

"Don't you look at me that way..." -the Abyss
 
'When searching for a meaningful embrace, sometimes my self respect took second place' -Iggy Pop, Cry for Love

... this will go down on your permanent record... -the Violent Femmes, 'Kiss Off'-

"I'm not just anyone, I'm not just anyone-
I got my time machine, got my 'electronic dream!"
-Sonic Reducer, -Dead Boys

I've read some good stuff about Australian Canberra's being very good at precision low-level bombing in 'Nam.

Talk about short and stubby :)

I always keep thinking this was in the old War of the Worlds movie - but that's another 'flying wing'.

A clip of the YB-49 (a jet conversion of the YB-35 above) was used in the 1950's version, IIRC.:

why does Star come to mind?
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

because both me and that plane are to big for your mouth.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Ladies and fellow Grogs, I present to you a small ballad to highlight this event between Star & Windy (in good spirited jest, no harm intended).  To be sung in the fashion of Gordon Lightfoot's "The Edmund Fitzgerald"  Please enjoy!

The legend lives on at the Grog-nadi fo-rum
of the Big Two they named Star & Windy
The two they say never would give way-ay!
Both with big packages and brimming fumes of hot-air
Global warming folks might well find their holy grail right the-re!
And we all hoped for a few more fixed-wing pin-ups
But then the gales of Star & Windy came early!
