    Would like to know how many the US lost, more than just a few.

    I think the only reason this is interesting is the source: Associated Press of Pakistan. I doubt they'd ever publish the number of Pakistani jets lost. The Indian Air Force is about double the size of Pakistan's.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
