I love flying small planes, and have piloted ones from powered
parachutes to ultra lights to Bonanzas. Owned a cheap Piper and a couple
of Cessna 172's in partnership with three others of like minds.

Hung up the Clark aviation headset after one of my former plane owner
partners and dear friend crashed and burned in his Bonanza



Damn...we do have something in common, Lu-ser. I gave up taking flying
lessons when I learned of the death of one of my buddies, the redoubtable
Morgan O'Leary, in the crash of his private plane.


So let's be civil. I quit calling you WAFA; you quit calling me Lu-ser. We
both quit sniping over politics and other crap that doesn't amount to a hill
of beans. First time either one of us personally attacks the other, truce is
off. Deal?


I can say this 'cause Harry has me filtered and can't see it. So,
don't respond.

I tried the same tact with HK. He wouldn't (couldn't ?) go for it.
Perhaps if you promised to say evening prayers to Mesiah 'Bama he'd go
for it.

Good luck.
