John Boyd's girlfriend gets caught shacking up with some rando Private, and the heartbroken Lieutenant sneaks a flask into his fighter and ends up digging his own grave at 800mph.

Thomas Christie is never inspired to do the calculations for the theory, and there remains no quantifiable model for fighter performance.


How does this affect future US fighter development? Perhaps the USAF continues with its lead-sled fighter designs (not to use the term disparagingly. I personally find some appeal in the concept of a brick hauling ass through sheere engine power).

Or maybe the F-4 is upgraded significantly?
