Great story, especially the following:
"Across America, anti-Canadian rhetoric was boiling over and people began to cut down maple trees in protest from Maine to Wisconsin. In one act of retaliation, three beavers were executed by pistol on the lawn outside the State Legislature in Frankfurt, Kentucky."

Reminds me of the Australian Phantom story....
The Raaf actually did fly the F4E as a stop gap for the F111.

Fail to see the connection between RAAF Phantoms and this story, but never mind. Cool attempt!
