Effort? Somehow I got the impression that this was a done deal. If it's still
under discussion, do you have more details? What's the strategy? Is this a
particular bill, or is your congresscritter attempting to attach it to
everything he can?

No, it's already a done deal. But Katrina may result in "fluff" being
stripped from the budget. Let's hope this porky fluff goes by the
wayside...

Hey, Jay it is like spark plugs, you are better off doing it yourself.

Another opinion, please:

What would you pay to have your plane "detailed"?

What, in your opinion, should be part of the "detailing"?

Thanks!

Mike,

I know a group at our local airport that charges $50 to wash a 150, $75 for
a 172/182, $100 for a twin etc.


How well are they insured for damage they might inflict?

Well, in our case this would be my 15 year old son's small business venture.

He's terribly under-insured...

Wouldn't you as a parent be liable? And is the smiley justified in the legal
climate your son operates in, i.e. the US? Imagine a pilot crashes because
your son allegedly introduced water into the pitot-static-system...

Well, I suppose. But he's a pretty level headed kid, has been around planes
since birth, and never, EVER uses water to clean planes.

And, you know, if I was the type to worry about liability, I sure wouldn't
be in the business I'm in -- nor would I just toss the keys to my 6,000
pound Ford Van to any pilot who flies in.

You see, Tom, there are still parts of America where people trust each other
to do the right thing. That's why I choose to live in Iowa.
