No, I got the reference. It just seemed like a very vanilla callsign; something his CAG made up when his 'real' one was unacceptable. Or maybe I'm wrong...maybe his first skipper was a big Who fan.

The chinese must have had a spy in the Boeing "Phantom Works" when Boeing proposed the YF-23. This a/c looks like a stretched version of the Boeing a/c (probably for more internal fuel/weapons). This is probably not a coincidence. JMHO.

The YF-23 was built by Northrup.

Watching Sectary Mabus, Adm Roughhead and Gen Amos testify to the Senate Arms Services Committee. Gen Amos confirmed that the plan is that Marines will fly the C model F-35 and be part of the CVW to a level that we do now with our Hornets.

We'll still have B models, they just confirmed that the plan is to also have C models, similar to how we do business with our Harriers and Hornets... Hence the
