Let's say you want to get across town.
Your choices are:
(1) A VW Bug-- 4 cylinders, turn the key, and you're off.
(2) A MIG-25. Say three years of flight training, two hours of
pre-flight planning, paperwork, and inspections.
Now the MIG-25 is a whole lot cooler. Which one do you choose?
It's got to be the MIG. My business across town isn't all that urgent, and
turning up in a MIG will definitely give me some street cr^W^Wair miles.
