"social security number...."

LOL Good one Tom, I've been known to be paranoid over other issues like the FAA's slow but sure incrimental restrictions of our freedom to fly. But in this case, I'm not loosing any sleep worrying about an IRS audit. They've already taken a small fortune from me in regulat taxation over the years.

Getting back to the thread topic, I'd like to encourage folks to donate to the Eagle Fund. Or better yet, donate your time and money to support at least one youth thru solo. I donate my instruction to any young person wishing to learn. I also am just about finished restoring a vintage 2-22 for use free of charge in youth instruction. Now don't any of you hold your nose at the venerable 2-22. Many a soaring champion got their start in the lead sled. And I can make a pretty good argument that in the long run its a better trainer in many respects than a Grob, and its sure dirt cheap to insure, maintain, and operate.
