Love these too! As a child we lived near Tyndall Air Force Base and I often saw some beautiful jet formations. They still give me goosebumps.

May the jets we ever see only be *friendly*.

All jets are friendly. It's the pilots that may not be.

However, when one side has them, then the other side(s) need to reciprocate - just like Australia is now doing - so the world becomes poorer while the militarists become richer, with bloodier hands.
