Take a look at the F-4
Phantom II military jet fighter. It has fantastic aerodynamic lines that
give this aircraft fantastic curves. One day I talked to my Chaplin about
how I was dreaming
about beautiful curves all the time, and he looked at me strangely, thinking
that I was dreaming about beautiful young girls. Then I
said the beautiful curves were on the F-4 Phantom II jet fighter. He had a
chuckle, but still looked at me strange. But look at the pictures of the books
listed below and you will know what I mean.

Originally the F-4 Phantom II Jet Fighter didn't have any guns.
It was thought that with the high speeds and the advanced missile technology
that the phantom didn't need guns. The pilots had all kinds of complaints,
guns were necessary, so the F-4 Phantom was finally fitted with a Gatling
(20 mm) cannon. The F-4 Phantom II became one of the worlds most famous
fighter jets ever and changed the world of military aviation --
The
F-4 Phantom II was built by McDonnel Douglas. It was a large airplane
