Has it occurred to anyone that there may be something amiss in the

one who defines himself entirely by his possessions? And that by
trashing
the possessions you are implicitly accepting that same set of values?

Not at all. Trashing Bubbles is a favored pasttime here. Where have you
been?

Note that I referred to trashing his possessions. You referred to trashing
him. Sounds like you've swallowed the equivalence hook, line and sinker.

Trashing him--trashing his possessions. I see very little difference. It's
all a game.

Hey, watch it there, Max. My DC-3 was grand, to say the least. It was
being put up in a museum somewhere a few years ago.

The Gooney Bird was a great, durable airplane. The "B-dash-crash" (B-26)
wasn't. And there were others, as I'm sure you know.

I used to fly jumpers on a 3 named Mr. Douglas.

Oh my, I was just lurking because I have school full time tomorrow.

I think I may have met you before...I jumped out of Mr. Douglas with Bill
Booth tandem (checking out a new parachute) in 1985ish. A friend of mine
caught the episode on National Geographic. It has Mr. Douglas, another DC-3
and some Beech's (and my DC-3) taking up what was supposed to be the first
hundred-way, but it wasn't accomplished until a few months later in
Oklahoma. (I was there and have the t-shirt to prove it...heh)

My new aviation boyfriend is a tandem skydiver, and a friend of his in
Hawaii has offered him some big bucks to go back to Maui, on the North Shore
where he used to live...

Did you used to own Mr. Douglas? Seems like the guys name was Mike...
What time period did you fly Mr. Douglas?

Hmmm,

No, no. I flew Mr. Douglas (N7500A) for a DZ in Tennessee for one summer in
mid-90s as a weekend job. I can't recall who owned it then, but Jan Aarvik
owns it now. He might have owned it then, for all I know. John Travolta
owned it a while back. I understand he now owns a retired airliner in
addition to a G4.

That DC-3 was also used in the movie about Ricky Nelson.
