You should hear the radio calls! We're in socal, but have flown up that way
on occasion. ATC must be used to it, but the accents are very thick and the
entire effect is somewhat comical (but potentially dangerous due to
language barriers).

More War stories,

They checked an individual, with no prior flying time, out in a P-80
in about 10 hours in a comedy of errors at Willie in early 50's.

If people are really interested, I'll tell the story but will take me
a while to type an abbreviated version in.

That was my first thought, too.

It's been said you can't attach a lot of significance to any particular
number because every pilot is different; nevertheless, a student pilot
soloing a Bonanza with just over 40 hours ... most of us are thinking
the same thing.

Not me! During primary training, I soloed a Bonanza with a total
of 15 hours in the log book....well, we called it a T-34, but I
was doing solo spins in it before I hit 20 hours, and.....I was
getting paid to do it! :-)

Those were the days, my friend. I was a slow student. It took me 17 hours to in
a T-34.

How much would an airplane cost, if it were designed by engineers and NOT by the government?

Interesting thought. Last I knew, airplanes WERE designed by engineers.
Automobiles are another story entirely.

There is a school in Canda that uses Bonanzas and Barons. What a way to
learn!

That's what the Lufthansa Flight School does..
Primary Training in a Bonanza..
not any different from the Air Force using T-37s to the Navy using T-34Cs

CBS noon news reported the crash of a Bonanza out of the Lufthansa
Flight Training School at Goodyear Airport. The student pilot was a 22
yr-old woman, here from Germany since December, with 49 total hours, 5+
solo hours, on what was supposed to be an hour-long solo flight. No
emergency radio calls were made, and the report said there is no
indication of what may have gone wrong so far.
