THIS is the real reason.
And let it be known as well that lift and thrust are directly
proportional to the AMOUNT of money spent :-)

I guess that's why you Yeager types figure out ways to get into the
military planes. The military guys may not get paid much, but at least
they're not PAYING.
I'd wager the average fighter pilot monthly salary would not pay for
the gas the pilot uses on a single flight -- let alone the
maintenance. Even for a couple of flights!
Well, sheet. Some people are just smarter than others.
I'm not a Yeager type, and if you think that money was all I needed to
fly military airplanes the way I have in my career you are sadly
misinformed.

Yeager as in highly skilled and experienced. Which you are.

I was trying to pay you a COMPLIMENT. I failed, I guess!

Your post didn't read like any compliment to me mister. It was snide,
overly familiar, and totally incorrect to boot. You don't know me well
enough to compare me with anyone, let alone someone I detest.
In the future, if you post to me with anything as ambigious as this post
was, use a f*****g smilie.

I can't really apolgize for a post I absolutely did not intend to be
either snide or familiar in any way. You're widely viewed as a highly
skilled, knowledgable pilot, and so I also can't say I'm sorry for
comparing your skills to another great pilot, Yeager, who I now
understand that you detest.

My posts are probably all kinds of wrong -- but it ain't wrong to say
military pilots don't have to put out the big bucks to ride in the
finest planes there are, which was the gist of my post in a part of
this thread where numerous posts were joking around about money making
planes fly.

That's all there really was to it.

No sweat. Forget it. No harm done. Just be advised I have a Pavlov
reaction to smilies. When inserted, there is no mistaking the good
intent of a post. I use them all the time :-)

Okay, I hear you.

I have to use them all the time at work, lest these misunderstandings
cause big problems.

The stuff comes at you fast on Usenet. Lots of personalities
interacting at the same time.
Whenever I'm not absolutely certain my tone will be taken the right way
I always use those damn smilies. They're stupid looking I admit, but
they serve me a very useful purpose. People seldom mistake my intent.
