GA is priceless

You made a statement in an earlier posting to the effect that general
aviation was not practicle because weather delays prevent one from
getting to ones destination on time. I simply pointed out that you made
an inaccurate statement.

No, you mentioned a person who had been lucky enough (or reckless
enough) never to be delayed by weather. There are many other unlucky
pilots who are dead because they would not tolerate weather delays.

The fact remains that weather is by far the most important obstacle to
GA as utility transportation, and that is not likely to change, unless
general aviation aircraft are equipped and built like airliners (and
GA pilots begin receiving the same training and experience as airline
pilots). The technology required for safe all-weather flight is
extremely expensive and is thus absent from GA aircraft. The training
required to successfully and safely fly in inclement weather is also
very expensive and tedious and most GA pilots have neither the
resources nor the ambition to undertake it.

I don't understand the irrational insistence that general aviation
provides some sort of utility transportation, in the way that cars,
trains, or commercial airlines do. That is manifestly untrue, and the
failure to acknowledge this mystifies me, and makes me wary of
anything else that is said to me by the people who refuse to see the
obvious.

Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.

After reading what feels like 1000s of posts I have to ask just what in the
world does "Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail" mean?

Does it mean change " to "? Does it
mean change " to "? Or something
else?

Whatever it is, we can rest easy knowing the spambots have it now. Heh.

I wouldn't want THE TROLL, Ms Maniac X, to do that to me ...or anyone else,
and I don't think one of us should do that to him.

I absolutely hate calling someone out (or whatever the term is). So, I'm
sorry if that's what I'm doing here Buck, but it was a line of civility that
I didn't think needed crossing.

As always, YMMV ...I guess.

One really nice thing about Google Groups is that it hides email
addresses that are in the text of any message. Makes it impossible for
the Spambots to get them.

The spambots don't use Google Groups.
