Of course, NW_PILOT's assesment is a litte alarmist, however (interestingly enough), we presently DO have black helicopters patrolling the Washington airspace and harassing general aviation.

...Bush 41 stumbled into an unneccesary war in the Gulf.... That's even wider of the mark than the usual newsgroup drivel. The "Gulf War" was more necessary than the great majority of the military actions in which the US has engaged since 1953. ...we're bankrupting ourselves.... But not because of the Iraq war, that's for sure. ...the intellgence community is in a shambles.... The Intelligence Community has _been_ in a shambles for decades. It's a well known fact, and the problems of entrenched influence and lack of leadership on the issue are widely recognized. It takes a big, big push to make such changes, and that historically happens only after some major debacle. We've simply gotten the "leadership" we deserve. Jack |

...Kerry was and is a true decorated war hero. So are you and any number of people on this newsgroup. It doesn't seem to be a factor which produces a lack of bias, nor protects one against an excess of narrow ambition. A presidential candidate is only as good as the people who support him. From what I've seen of the people who are rabid supporters of either of the major candidates, this year's vote is going to be a difficult choice for folks who are just trying to avoid the greater evil.

ubject: Bush Flew Fighter Jets During Vietnam
From: Jack Date: 7/13/2004 7:51 AM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: Kerry was and is a true decorated war hero. So are you and any number of people on this newsgroup. It I was never a hero. I never did a single heroic thing.I was a 19 year old kid. I flew my missions doing what I was trained to do. As we all did, And kept flying those misssions until the war ended. Then I went home. Let's not make more of it than it is. Arthur Kramer 344th BG 494th BS England, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany Visit my WW II B-26 website at: http://www.coastcomp.com/artkramer |

I know what the statistics are, and I don't care. I suspect Bush Jr's motives were the same booze, pussy and kerosene! As a former fighter pilot (or "pilot who flew fighters", compared to guys like Ed, et al) I wish to disassociate myself from that remark. It was JP-4, Pussy, and booze -- in that order and with appropriate nomenclature and capitalization, please. Jack |

"No, asshole. The biggest ego blast in the world is walking away from the jet, sweat-soaked and drained, looking back at the bird and saying, '**** you. You could have killed me, but you didn't.' And, knowing that you do something every day that most other humans don't even begin to conceive of. and: "Those square-ass Gulfstream and Lear crews" aren't even part of the equation. And _that_ is the truth! Jack |

But in America the middle class can fly if they want to. It's just a matter of priorities. I bought a 30-year old sailplane so I could afford to fly a little cheaper. Not everybody wants to make that sharp a turn from single-seat-jet fighter/big-airliner-left-seat to unobtrusive cheap little go-nowhere, carry-nothing quiet little aircraft, of course. I recommend Ed and others try it. It's the most actual flying you've been called upon to do since you safed-up your last gun switch, or taxied in and shut down after your last engine-out at-or-below minimums instrument approach at night in a snowstorm. You'll freakin' love it! Jack |

[Dr. Joe Bagadonutz is] equally likely to kill himself in a Bonanza for that matter. Not quite. Even most Dr.s aren't convinced they can fly a MIG or any real fighter -- or at least aren't so willing to disprove it. The Bonanza isn't that tough, after all -- so it's a damn' good thing they are leaving the fighters, for the most part, alone. Hell, my Dad owned and flew a Bonanza, and he was only a Major League baseball player, with a high school education. Jack |
