"JDupre5762" wrote in message ... Another interesting fact: Both George Bush and John Kerry are wealthy men. Bush owns only one home, his ranch in Texas. Kerry owns 4 mansions, all worth several million dollars. ( Actually Kerry's second wife's first husband's trust fund owns all the "Kerry" homes. Kerry does have part interest in a family owned island though. John Dupre' Like they all said...they married up. |

Something that big should NOT be able to fly, at least that slowly! g -- Jim in NC Absolutely. The visual effect is mind blowing. The giant soviet transport was actually a little slower. It was designed specifically for short field operation and for rough fields. It had huge flaps and slots. Also lots and lots of tires.

They also had the Concorde doing flights to nowhere for 1000.00. Halfway to Hiwaii and back in 1 hour. I had a buddy who went and I envied him for the disposable cash |
