Nice.

 

Expect you know that c.1970 the original name for the MRCA* was to have been the Panavia Panther? I have a drawing somewhere with that title, showing a more streamlined/less boxy ac, with round “half-cone” intakes like the F-104, Mirage III & TSR 2.

*MRCA development was taking so long that in the 1970s the RAF believed that the acronym stood for “Must Refurbish Canberra Again”.

Panther is a name of german tanks. This is the newest one:

KF-51 Panther

It's in the test phase since last year. It's expected to be combat ready in 2025.

Also, there is an animal called Panther (who knew?) and an early jet fighter from the Bethpage Ironworks.

My neighbors' cat's name is Panther. All these names are given in honor of this cat. Don't even try  controversy

It must be a very old cat.

Sweet Cat, in time,
PAM-PAM-PAM!

you'll see the line
PAM-PAM-PAM!

The line that's drawn between
PAM-PAM-PAM!

good and the bad
PAM-PAM-PAM!

See the blind man
PAM-PAM-PAM!

shooting at the world
PAM-PAM-PAM!

Bullets flying, taking toll

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhh!

Tan! tadadadadadan tantan! tadadadan-tan-tan! tandadadadantan-tan!

Mew, mew, mew!
Mew, mew, mew!
