He is pulling your leg too! No MMAs exist at the moment, although Boeing
made the circuit of VP bases with a 737 during the competition.

Tom,
I wasn't trying to pull anyones leg. Most readers on this NG know enough to
understand certain assumtions are made. In this case I thought everyone
understood that the plane flown was the proposed MMA a 737. Purported to be
like or similar to the the final product. At this point my buddy who has a butt
load of P-3 time found the planes low altitude handeling unacceptable. I am
taking his comments as sincere and at face value.
