My son was given a small model SR-71 blackbird. The plane was already pretty beat up because the toy was a hand me down from another toddler.

After having fixed the SR-71 for the fifth time, the writing was on the wall, Nicholas needed a new one.

So I went to Amazon.com and bought him a new plane… And since I was there, I could not resist buying him a model F14 …

A symbol of US military supremacy … built in …

China…

The irony is not lost on me… Our military might, as toys, built in China…
