Last week the circumstances surrounding Bond's last flight grew more and more mysterious. The Air Force refused to identify the plane he was piloting, except to call it "an Air Force specially modified test aircraft." At first, speculation centered on a group of aircraft under development at Nellis that use the new and highly classified Stealth technology, an array of design innovations supposedly capable of making aircraft virtually invisible to enemy radar. Then came an even more intriguing, though also unconfirmed, report: Bond was actually flying a Soviet-built MiG-23 Flogger, the primary fighter craft...
...nations are being Christianized more rapidly than South Korea. At the end of World War II, only about 5% of South Koreans were Christians.

He is given little opportunity to do anything except stand around looking gorgeous; we are never given a chance to see what motivates his actions. Why, for instance, does his passion for the princess turn into a romance de coeur so strong that he is willing to risk his life and those of the men on board the Bounty...
