I'll take a real Warrior over a fake 747 any day of the year. At least
when I fly somewhere, when I get out of the plane I'm really there, not in
a pathetic little ******** in Paris.

For me, actually arriving at a real destination would be a huge disadvantage.
I don't really want to end up in Aspen or St. Maarten or anything like that.
They simply have interesting airports.

Yep,home detention tends to take away the fun of travel

I think it would be hard to argue that he hadn't stirred up at least
some reasonably interesting threads on this board... But I can
understand those of you who are sick of it... I'm sorry, I will try
and remember to use the MX: subject tag if/when I respond to him in
the future.



Great idea on the MX in the subject line. We should also do this when
responding, so those that wish to can filter for MX in the subject line. I
for one and more annoyed with the typical half a dozen posts sent to him
insulting him and asking him to stop everytime he asks a question. I find
mentally filter his work easy. Filtering the post sent to him is the
effort. Don't people realize he probably LIKE the insulting posts and
numerous requests asking him to stop?

Horse****. I have a middle class income. I own a plane. It is a
matter of priorities. Instead of buying/leasing a new car, one can
instead own an old, used airplane. Too many people I know with low to
middle incomes spend like crazy on cars, TVs, stereos, golf, etc. I
chose to spend it on flying. Once again you prove that you have no idea
what the F you are talking about.


I depend on data and statistics, rather than anecdotes.


Two pilots and owners on this newsgroup just countered your incorrect
generalization with proof by negative example and you dismiss them by
saying they are anecdotes? You are truly off your rocker.

Looney tunes. Wacko.


What kind of medications are you taking? (Or prescribed at one time?)
I would love to know. What was the last diagnosis you had by a
medical/mental health professional?

Excussssssssssssssseee Me MXs Lunatic

That Beaver that I was in, did have headsets for all eight people on board.
Thats one PIC and the passenger in front. Lucky for me I was the one behind
the Pilot going out.

Oh, how cute! You actually think the microphones on the headsets are only
for talking to atc?

If they have headsets. Do you keep a headset for every seat in your
aircraft?
That's $4000 for a Baron.

Anecdotes are not proof. And without a detailed analysis of their financial
status vs. a widely-accepted model of middle-class status, their experiences
cannot be given much credence.

But it was not your aircraft, I take it? Good headsets are expensive. Then
again, everything in an aircraft tends to be expensive, just like the aircraft
itself.

Don't you ever tire of demonstrating your ignorance and reticence to
the acquisition of knowledge?

I don't know if you're joking or not, but I really did watch one guy who
had
to back off a couple of steps and achieve some momentum to climb onto the
wing of a Comanche.

No, I'm not joking. However it's not completely a weight problem
although that's a good portion of it. He basically grabs the door
frame and pulls himself up into a position where he can get in. If he
ever got into the Deb I'm afraid we'd have to lift him out as he just
doesn't have the mobility.

With that much heft I'd be afraid they might miss the wing walk way
once they got up some momentum.

The guy was overweight, although not to an unusual degree, but had a hip
problem.

However, I strongly suspect that less weight would have helped a lot.
