Well, I'm the guy who flew that Twin Comanche in - because my
homebuilt glider wasn't up to the trip. And you know - from where I'm
sitting, I think the Moon Man has a point. You gonna make fun of me
now?


Well, what's the ****in' point?


That it takes a mighty small man to make such a big noise over some
pictures of a party.

A twin Commanche is a slug on the way to nowhere nowadays


See, nothing is ever good enough for you. Now you feel the need to
put down my airplane too. OK, fine, it's a slug. I bet if someone
showed up in a jet, you would find a way to put that down too.

In fact I'll bet that 95% of the idiots who read your bull **** here
couldn't start the ****ing engines if their lives depended upon it.


You must have owned Twin Comanches with poorly adjusted fuel servos.
Too bad. It's not that hard to adjust them properly. Mine start
easily.

Certainly the Cessna pilot who wanted a ride didn't have any problem
starting my engines. Took all of 30 seconds to explain how. Way less
time than it took you to try and belittle everyone here. BTW, with
just a little coaching he did pretty good flying it, too. I even let
him land it.

Enjoy your vitriol, but remember that Pinkneyville is a party. No
more, no less. It's not Oshkosh, and it's not supposed to be. For me
it's a chance to see people I know through the 'net but don't
otherwise meet. It was a good weekend.

I hung out with some old friends, told a few tall tales and listened
to a few more, drank a few beers, helped a fellow with a cold jug on
his engine get it running again, flew a twin I hadn't flown before,
watched an impromptu airshow, and generally had a good time. BTW -
what did YOU do that weekend?

Michael
