In the late 1970s, Gen. Wilbur Creech, commander of the Tactical Air
Command (now Air Combat Command) wanted a dual role, all weather
enhanced tactical fighter (ETF) to correct what he saw as the major
deficiency in the American tactical air forces − the inability to
attack targets, especially mobile targets, at night. Because of budget
constraints, General Creech wanted a modified version of an existing
fighter rather than an entirely new aircraft. The manufacturers of the
two main fighters in the Air Force inventory, General Dynamics (F-16)
and McDonnell Douglas (F-15), both immediately plunged into the
competition.

Your car narrowly misses a collision with an 18-wheeler on the
autobahn. As you walk up to your bedroom, you lose your balance on the

laces only to feel a baseball graze your hair from behind.  Some would
call it merely chance. Others would call it something more.
