This is intriguing, as Mary and I have been discussing visiting Europe
one of these years.

I would MUCH prefer flying myself around Europe, but have been
dissuaded from the notion by many people who have inferred that it is
quite impossible.

Please fill me in: What would I, as an American pilot, have to do to,
say, rent a plane in England, fly it to France, Belgium, Austria,
Germany, and back to England?

As much as I know you love to fly, unless you have a very big block of time
(to take VFR delays into consideration) I wouldn't recommend it. It is
impossible to beat an unlimited 30 day Eurorail pass. You get to go
whenever you want, it is quick and on time, night or day, and it seems there
is always a train to get you where you want to go. I could see getting 1/2
the things seen, flying vs. train-ing.

Go over and rent a plane for a day here and there, when something demands a
view from the air.

Just my opinion, mind-ya. g

PS This is a different machine that I'm posting from. I think my hard disk
just croaked! :-(
Anyone? What does it mean, when it tries to boot, and the hard drive starts
right away, and sounds like it is scanning the same sector, continuously.
CD will not eject, same if it is unplugged, or attempted to shut down with
the power switch, (which it will not do) to recycle it. It is an older
E-machine, running XP. Any guesses?
