I think that Brick is possibly the American term for the Phantom, as well as the 'Lead Sled' (a name also given to the F84), and the 'Worlds Largest Distributer of MiG parts'

Herr B, I'd never heard of the F11F-1 incident, that is hilarious! I bet the Jag pilot was wary of flying near any Rhinos for a while after, and I thought our Harrier problems were bad enough!
