In any case, not even a zoomie could understand the phrase "Dispense ordnance" (too many syllables), they have their pickle buttons colored red, just like ours

But speaking of buttons in the cockpit, I got the chance to **** around in the new F-35 simulator, and there's actually a switch that is labeled "Auto-recover" for when you go out of control. Of course it's not much harder in a Hornet since you just have to neutralize the controls (although the Hornet is so hard to go OCF that if you are, you're probably missing a wing).
