I'm blanking on the name of it but I remember there being a series involving some global cataclysm (WW3 maybe?) that thoroughly devastated the world, and our protagonist was a dude with a heavily modified F-16 that just flew around the world doing...something? For reasons? I remember finding one of the books in my local library and reading a little bit of it and being like "nah, this is too much" even while I was in my plane-obsessed, "I'm gonna join the USAF and be an F-22 pilot or a PJ or BOTH," cadet A1C in the CAP phase. I only remember one thing and that was the guy bragging about having to touch down in a village populated only by women, who held him there until he impregnated as many as he could? I dunno, poo poo made Dale Brown look like Michael Shaara by comparison.

Oh poo poo, that's it indeed. Man, somehow the author milked over a dozen books out of the concept. Has there ever been a "Let's Read" of this series? That'd be a thing.

somebody in TFR did one a few years ago

E: Aw man it was Chitoryu, RIP what a legacy to leave behind.

My favorite of those is the two guys with the truck full of ANFO slowly driving across the country to blow up the White House.

TLDR (and boy is it ever TL) they get caught by beat cops before anyone even realize they exists.


I've always wondered what the original plan for that completely orphaned subplot was, they literally never interacted with anything or anyone else in the book at all
