A really dumb question. Army Harrier Pilot

[Bill Murray]

I don't think so, Tony.

Harrier is part of the vernacular now.
Not to confuse the issue, but my example is not 100%, regarding the Navy.

For some reason, we Yanks still refer to an F-14 as that instead of a Tomcat, an F-16 as that instead of a Falcon and the F-18 as that instead of a Hornet.

Tomcat sort of made it into the vernacular, I think they were used in the film "Top Gun", but I doubt if hardly any civilians could tell you what a Falcon or a Hornet are with any degree of accuracy.

In any case, the customer has not come back nor has he called back so I may never get to call his bluff.
