But, in HDAS, it doesn't mean

_jet plane_

.

Don't the strings have to have the same meaning, in order for one to
be an antedatng of the other? It seems to me that, unless an earlier
instance of _blow job_  meaning "jet plane" is found, Bill, yooda man!

IIRC, the P[ursuit]-80 was the last one so designated. Afterward, the
designation became "F[ighter]-" and even the P-80 itself was
redesignated the "F-80."

But, since I was a mere eight years old in 1945, I may not RC.

Youneverknow.
