I have often wondered what is going to happen when my Winchester bag gets
swabbed!! I carry it on as my overnight bag. The also use the bag to hold
all of my spent shells when I go shooting. It has to be HOT HOT HOT.

Communism is Al Capone winning in Chicago, then eventually running an entire
country.

Given enough freedoms, 1% of those billion Chinese might want planes. That's
10 million plane buyers. Either the used Cessna market is going to go
through the roof or they'll make their own darn plane. Hell, everything
brought home from the hardware store, or K-mart is made in China these
days - why not the next generation planes?

I'm with the Chinese Govt on that in keeping the lid on China, they are
doing a good job looking after my lifestyle. Just think what it would be
like with 1 billion Chinese on the move.

When I was in China, I tried to find a flying club to do some
flying. The customer I was working for knew of a few places.
One was a GA flying club, but they didn't have any planes
after their last one crashed a few years ago! :-) They had
microlight (ultralight) clubs, but I'm too big for those, so I
declined. The other option was military...this guy had quite
a few friends who were pilots in the airforce. They even said
they'd take me for a ride in one of their jets, but they checked
with their superiors and were told no.

There is a large club/school he

And they are making their own aircraft:

Seen others reported from shows too, singles and twins.

lol - ok, so you already know it may cause a problem - possibly holding up
the entire flight - and yet you still use it?

Well, nobody has given me $30 for a new bag yet. Besides, I never check
baggage and it shouldn't hold up the flight, just me. Last time I travelled
I had it with me and they swabbed my computer case and hand inspected my
Winchester bag because of my Eddie Bauer shoes with thick soles. I do need
to buy a new bag but I'm just so darn cheap and I'd rather spend it on my
motorcycles or get current!
