On the training, I had settled on the Cessna (How the heck do you climb

absolutely detest).

I'm sure the feeling is mutual!

above the basic requirements to get the ticket). I may have to just
content myself with sitting in the right seat of my buddy's Cessna and
working the GPS for him....

We're all impressed with your ability to play with a GPS. No need to
keep
bragging about it.

Bragging? Nothing to brag about. Its a fairly simple instrument to
operate. My ISP based buddy is just stuck on using the VOR and is having
trouble adapting to the new technology, despite its obvious superiority,
esp. with WAAS.

As far as the local airport: I HOPE they really, really, really detest
me!!! If some don't now, I hope they will when they hold the next public
"information" meeting. I am ready. I have a very thick file waiting.
They don't like to deal in facts. I like Will Rogers, who said, "Facts
are stubborn things."
