What's it to you anyway? Noone flies in your world, wannabe boi, Bertie Some times people like you make me ashamed to be part of this group. Grow up, and show some sensitivity to an event that took a pilot's life. My prayers go out to the victim's family. Prayers to whom? Do we pilots have a patron saint?

He said the plane is capable of flying in excess of 450 mph. An F-18 can fly in excess of 450 MPH.. Who would've guessed? Yes, and I've never seen a motor propelling a jet before either... Matt |

My Convert-O-Matic program sez it's actually 1,383mph. (Mach speed figure is from Boeing) |

What a truly stupid thing to say. I don't see anything stupid about it. It's important to keep things in perspective. I'm always amazed by how skewed the perceptions of death can be. When 32 people are shot by a nutcase, it becomes a Major Media Event and a national day of mourning. When 150,000 are killed by an atomic bomb in a distant foreign country, it is a cause for celebration, with not a single tear shed. People become indignant when others refuse to wail with grief over the deaths of those the former consider important, but they simultaneously show precisely the same indifference towards the untold millions of others who are dying throughout the world. It's an extreme case of tunnel vision, and it's a form of irrational emotion that is dangerous to society. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

What a truly stupid thing to say. From what I've read he's the king of saying stupid things. It's one death. Not any more important than the deaths of others dying in the military. |
