I hope you'll tolerate my sarcasm, but as I've already started this, I
realize that I should explain the meaing:
At least in Germany the Starfighter has a second name that would
translate something like "widow-maker" - simply because of numerous
crashes with this aircraft. Thus I meant that the pilot should marry
_before_ flying such an aircraft because otherwise his
life-mate/girlfriend doesn't profit from the widow's pension .... :-/
