How cares if the interceptor can outrun a strike/air-superiority plane?

You still have to get in range to fire.

Vertical take off and landing? I didn't know US marine pilots had equipment capable of that - thought it was only the British Navy and their Harriers. What does the US use for VTOL?

Harriers, Setekh. For almost as long as the Brits have been using them. That and helicopters.

Yeah, the Nazis had some super advanced stuff in the works. They were even designing a space shuttle, and that was in the early 40s. If you look at the current Space Shuttle, and the Nazi one, there is a striking resembelance.

Never realised the US used them too. :) I guess I would have known that if I watched more Arnie. Thanks Venom. :p

*BZZZZZT!* you're wrong, it was this:

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil
