P-51D

I've never seen a single person miss so many points in a single
paragraph before. Very impressive.

My, what an obnoxious tone you take. I could say the same thing about
you. My guess is you are not a pilot, otherwise I think our viewpoints
would be a bit closer here. We'll just have to agree to disagree. (I
suppose you find that "irrational" too?) I'm not about to debate this
ad nauseum online..

However, if you really think a group of planes buzzing around pylons at
400mph 100ft off the ground is less risky than simply flying a low
approach down a runway during a demonstration then there's no reasoning
with you.

My opinion (and that's the part you missed - it's just an opinion) is
that warbirds are enjoyed more in the air, vs sitting in a museum as a
boring static display. That's all. At some point they will all be
grounded when the cost to keep them airworthy is excessive even for the
well-heeled that own them now.

lol. Again, you display your ignorance. Anyone suggesting I'm not a pilot
is quite ignorant indeed.

Actually, if YOU really think that you can make a claim about relative
safety without having statistical evidence to justify that claim, there's no
reasoning with YOU.

Air racing is an extremely controlled environment. There's no reason,
absent some genuine data demonstrating otherwise, to believe that air racing
is more hazardous to the airframes than air show performances (and other
similar uses, for example the P-51 flights offered at Crazy Horse in
Kissimmee).

You continue to insist on basing your beliefs on your personal intuitive
impressions, rather than real-world, hard evidence. Now *that* is
irrational.

Hmmm... did't realize you were known Internet-wide for your commercial
pilot skills... The way you've been sounding off I figured you were an
ATP with all the ratings.

If you recall, I'd been posting just my opinions since the beginning -
and all along you've prattled on about "statistical evidence" like Rain
Man and berated me for my opinions. Very big of you. So much so that
you've lost sight of the original post's intent. But, whatever.. you're
happiest being an obnoxious a-hole. Clearly you're a genius and maybe
we all could learn something from you? Other than personal skills(!)

I once read "Arguing on the Internet is like competing in the Special
Olympics - even if you win you're still retarded." With that thought
in mind I'll take the moral high road here and end this pointless
debate. Happy Flying, sunshine...

Hmmm,
Well I rarely would agree with Peter on anything, but was this
last little tidbit really necessary? Though the statement in itself is
true,..as my little brother can attest to, here it was just meant as
hateful. And very offensive to some of us . My brother is a Special Olympic
Gold Medalist and I am right damn proud of him.

No offense intended Patrick - Peter just ****ed me off with his
pompous, know-it-all attitude. I've read a bunch of his other posts,
and this is nothing new.

I can sure agree with you there, to me his posts say college student that
doesn't have the sense God gave a turnip,..but considers himself the know
all see all Carnac! I usually do not bother reading his posts, just
happened to be following the P-51 thread though! I wouldn't waste my time
trying to reason with him, be like sitting in the backyard arguing with a
rock Hard to remember sometimes that people born with afflictions can not
help it, I remember a time when getting a laugh from making fun of someone
like that got you "corrected" very quickly by a parent . Sorry to say that
is not the case anymore. Strange how parents and schools have to teach such
PC things to not offend people,...but nothing is ever said of kids going
around calling each other "retarded". It sure is a bad habit of the youth
around here anyway.
Those folks can not help it, but I hope that Peter can get help and
learn to play with others

It's funny seeing you and "kingfish" try to one-up each other making
ignorant assumptions about who or what I am. You guys are cracking me up!
Hilarious! The funniest part, you're being so ignorant about it, you can't
even tell how ignorant you're being.

Ignorance is bliss...so they say. You guys must be the happiest folks in
the world.
