Top Gun CUNNINGHAM: I broke the law, concealed my conduct and disgraced my office.

Spooky. The Butner prison complex is where I take anybody I give a ride
to out of 8NC8. For Young Eagles its, "guess what's in those
buildings". And it's our flight school's standard practice area. There
are 3 to 5 prisons there, roughly 3 miles from the airport (thankfully
across a lake, a quarry, swamplands, and interstate).

How many times have I wondered about people imprisoned below while I'm
doing figure eights and turns around a point in the big blue sky overhead.

As a kid, reading the account of his big flight in Vietnam while
building model airplanes, I was saddened knowing I would probably never
get to fly a Phantom but I knew I would always fly.

Thanking of Cunningham sitting it out in Butner while I cavort
overhead...as much as I hate what he did, how he did it, and the
egotistical a--hole he always seemed to be in public accounts... life
seems harsh and arbitrary even when law and order is righteously served.
But it is the way it is.

It's good to know that he can see people enjoying their freedom over
his head, but I'd prefer to see the millions of dollars he cost the
country back in the federal coffers.

Keep in mind Google now only displays the first 20 kbytes
of posts (about 250 lines).

Such a sad story though where "Duke" Cunningham will be remembered
as one of the biggest crooks in Congress instead of his accomplisments
in the air.

Thanks for that; where did you find that information? Does that mean,
that when the option to 'display original message' is invoked,
messages longer than 20 Kbytes will be truncated also?

I'll always remember both his aviation accomplishments, and his being
the biggest congressional crook brought to justice.
