"Professional Class" was probably a bad way of expressing myself.....

The point I was trying to make was compare the level of development / refinement that goes into a class..... Time and funding.

Compare the time, resources and funding that go into development programs for the Tornado, A Class, F18 to the likes of classes such as the F14, F16.

How many Alpha Omega F14s are currently out there...... 3 or so????? Darryl you can answer this... I have no idea.

How many Stealths are out the...... Some of the UK boys may be able to help out here.

How much time and funding is allocated to their development programs. To what extent do they test their product..... Tank testing???? How experienced are those doing the research in controlled environments and gathering data.

Try not to take any offence..... I am asking the question.
The worst part about forums is that you can not gauge ones tone in the conversation and miss-interpret what a person is trying to say.
