5th flight - No joy. by
Steve R.

No matter how thorough I thought I was, I always felt there was something
I'd missed. It's a learning process, Kevin, there will be things that slip
by you. For now, that's what the instructor is for. Later, whether...

Shiver Me Timbers
Well folks..... I'm a little surprised.
It's not everyday that a country orders 3.2 billion dollars worth of a

the subject out in this newsgroup.... but apparently...

her a "Cape Cod heiress"), and to her eventual husband, JFK gave a

screen not the color....

Newsgroup question by
Vygg
I've been monitoring this group for about 18 months and have found that
it deals almost exclusively with civilian rotorcraft. Is there a Usenet
group that discusses military rotorcraft, instead?
