My wife getting scared

I think you should pursue having it added to the retail distribution
CD package! Make sure the user passes "Atlas" and the Mighty Pea
while taxiing.

The "Mighty Pea"? Please....our fuel hauling truck is the "Mighty
Grape"!

Of course, you are entitled to your opinion, but I haven't seen the
mention of humor in the newsgroup charter, have you?

Concerning ANYTHING even remotely associated with getting something
across flight safety wise (or even in normal dialog between people )
that will be remembered by the most people either reading or hearing it,
humor is the catalyst in the communication equation that will be most
effective.

I don't know how you said that with a straight face, Dud...

;-)

The fact that this must be explained to Larry illustrates my point
better than anything. Thanks for making me smile this morning!

Impressive. Seriously. But all that doesn't mean he's infallible or
couldn't be a jerk at times.

You may now approach the throne and kiss my ring...

Seriously, I don't ever want to be a jerk, Thomas. I don't know if
it's a second-language thing with you, or what, but you'll be tootling
along in a thread just fine, doing a wonderful job of communicating
your experiences, and then -- BOOM! -- you just unload a personal
insult for no apparent reason.

I get that way when I'm overworked and haven't flown for a while. My
recommendation (to everyone, including me): Fly more, post less.

to download free Iowa City enhanced scenery -- which includes detailed
renditions of the Alexis Park Inn & Suites!

Done! I shall try it out.

A couple of notes.

1. This scenery package was created for us, for free, out of the
kindness of two enthusiast's hearts. I don't want to hear any
bitching or nit-picking about it, because the amount of work those
guys did -- for free, remember -- is astounding. (You can taxi right
into our parking lot, for example!)

2. I offer it for free download with no implied warranties. I've run
it on our flight simulator since it was created, without problems, but
that doesn't mean it won't corrupt your children, harm the
environment, or erase *your* hard drive.

3. The hotel is located just to the north of the arrival end of Rwy
25, both in the sim and in the real world. (I tell you this so you
can find it in the sim....)

Have fun!

"Impressive": Agreed!

....and 'NO!' to the Kool-Aid. I prefer ice water, Diet Coke ("...& the left
side of the menu"), Mike's, and beer.

Part Deux: Agreed, also.

Part One ("Impressive" revisited): My 4am list was anything BUT complete.

Part Three: I do not have you and Larry on the same list as (#%^&*) Ms
Maniac X. That idiot needs to be sent "Danger Seeking" in the Muslim Quarter
(Third? Half?) of Paris.

Hold on; I'm confused! (OK, you out there; don't pass up a straight line
like this! g)

I thought the old truck was the mighty grape, and the new one
was-....what???

Plenty of people practice touch-n-goes in their own airplanes ... if
they are THAT damaging to an engine, we'd be hearing of this engine
damage all the time. People with Cubs or other small tailwheels are out
doing touch-n-goes ALL THE TIME...doesn't seem to bother their engines.

The Lycoming AEIO-540's in Pitts S-2's have a TBO of 1200 hours.
Pilots who fly Unlimited and Advanced maneuvers typically average
600-700 hours since new before the engines are replaced.
The constant stresses of going from full throttle to idle and back to
full throttle definitely take their toll on an engine.

I suspect that the gyroscopic forces have a very large part in wearing out
the engines, also. Plus, as you said, the idle to full throttle (wide open,
high RPM prop setting all the time, at that) operation that does not allow
time to go up to full power gradually.

Totally different than the average Joe out there shooting touch and go's and
go-arounds.

The old Nissan was purple, so we called it "The Mighty Grape".
(Usually shortened to just "The Grape")

The new Toyota (well, okay, 1995 vintage) is green, so we also call
it..."The Grape"...

A fortuitous choice of colors, I say...
