I'm glad of that. Thanks for clearing that up. That's why I had said I didn't know how well detailed the information in the manual was. I was reasonably certain there were checks and balances in place to make sure there was no release of classified material. However, seeing a manual like that still makes me a bit uneasy.

Thanks for the info Subnuts and Jim .



Ironically, I had found the actual training manuals with specs on a few fighter aircraft some of which are current aircraft. I found them in a thrift store while killing a few minutes of time. They are in excellent condition too.
