IBTD.

EVERYONE in the
US either books on-line, or searches on-line, nowadays.

ah. another generalization.

You can always, always, ALWAYS drive a better price by talking to the
manager or owner, than you can get on-line, because he (like me) would
much rather give YOU the 15% that we have to pay the on-line booking
agencies.

And if they act like they don't know what you're talking about when you
call, they're lying, stupid, or both. (Or you're speaking with a
part-time clerk. Ask for the manager/owner.)

nice. I'd like to not have to bother a manager or owner. Give the person
working this position the right to decide on that. And I like fair prices
and don't like to negotiate that much on any "deals". The price with the
deals deducted is the regular going rate. The listed price is the stupid.

When Pearl Harbor was attacked, did the USA just find Japan, and
hunt them down and forget about anything else? No! We did realize that
there
were other threats out there, and we better start to deal with them,
hastily.
And actually the USA defended Europe from Nazi Germany and their friends
in
Italy, Albania, etc. first.

But only after Japan's ally Germany declared war on the US immediately after
Pearl Harbor. Iraq did not declare war on the US after Sept. 11 (and Iraq
had no alliance with al Qaeda; in fact, they were mutual enemies). Being
attacked by one party does not automatically entitle you to wage war on
other parties of your choice.

Ron,

The best thing is to identify and kill them.


Ah, another perfect example of the ugly American raising his (it's
always his...) head. Only on this newsgroup...

Mike,

Hopefully they know that not all Americans are to blame.


They do, although places like this group sometimes make it hard. I
often wonder if it is typical of the US pilot population or just this
place. They (at least here in Germany) look at the election results
with great hope.

Someday, this whole gay marriage thing going on now, the fact that it's even
being debated, will be looked at with the same disgust most of us look at
the racial prejudice of 50 short years ago. And all of you, who think it is
your place to dictate how other people should live, will be clearly seen for
the ignorant, intolerant bigots you are.

Mike, the correct term is "homosexual." "Gay" means happy and stuff.

Marriage is between a man and woman. get over it and tell your homo
friends to get back in the closet. I am tired of their "in your face"
tactics.

Er, um, Mike. Radical muslims are everywhere. Many countries in the
middle east, Europe, and yes even in the USA. You are perhaps of the
mindset that you can talk reason with those who want to kill
Americans. Nope. The best thing is to identify and kill them. And
people like that will always be somewhere in the world just like there
will always be criminals. Accept that fact and be prepared to defend
our country (which means killing them first) and we will stay free.

Geez Mike. Read what I wrote. I said "radical muslims." Not every
muslim.

Funny Thomas. I bet if a killer came into your house you would want
to discuss his "Issues." Not me. Bad people who want to kill you are
best dealt with with the best defense...which to me means any and all
action include death. I have no desire to ever kill anyone but I will
if it comes down to "me or them."

Jay,

Carrying around 300 pounds of extra weight in Iowa (is the "Field of Dreams"
still there?) may be OK, but it will (and does)KILL you in some of the
mountain strips in the west. I forget the exact mathematical relationship
between weight and T/O performance, but weight makes a HUGE difference and
is the easiest to control. I am forever going into Idaho's strips with 1.5
hours of fuel because of density altitude. It just makes a few more fuel
stops necessary.

When you finally come out west you and Mary should stop here on the way.
Flight plan to land here with 1.5 hrs gas.

Your 235 would be right at home here and the grass is kept like a golf
course. They even split wood for your campfire.

I know you don't see much difference in the handling of your Cherokee, but
that's because it's tactile flying qualities are low. My Cessna isn't much
better, but reducing weight significantly improves feel. A light airplane is
not only more fun to fly, but also safer. If you REALLY, TRULY were
concerned about fuel you'd install a fuel flow transducer and connect it to
the GPS. Once calibrated, these devices are uncannily accurate.

In the jets we are required to calculate the maximum allowable takeoff
weight for every takeoff and landing, so somebody besides me must think it's
important. We use this:

Carrying around too much fuel by rote is just replacing one hazard with
another.

Getting married is an "in your face" tactic to the same extent that sitting
in the front of a public bus was an "in your face" tactic. And as your post
nicely illustrates, it elicits slurs and hostility from the same sort of
person.

Great hope for WHO? All the Muslim vermin you've let into your country?
