They had some great teachers; the USA stole half their land 150 years ago. Mexico's per capita income is less than $9,000 and life expectency is 72 years compared to more than $36,000 and 76 years in the U.S. The real tragedy is that we didn't steal all of it and save the Mexican people from the grinding proverty imposed by their corrupt government. Mexico actually applied for admission to the United States as a state on one occasion. |

I posted the original "what do they fly?" Number one, for some reason I
just never thought of Mexico as having an air force for some reason. An army and a navy yes but never thought of an air force. And I was curious as to what they flew. Meaning did they purchase U.S. made aircraft or did they buy elsewhere. I meant no pun or put down -- Chris Ehlbeck, PPASEL "It's a license to learn."

Anything they can steal.
As someone who is of hispanic descent and who flies professionally, I find this insulting. Actually, I would find it insulting even if I didn't fly. -John *You are nothing until you have flown a Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman or North American* |

Notice there were not many rushing in to share his glee. White people call me *white* (think, white solar panel..yes, you might be blinded if I take my shirt off outside...hehe) and I was disgusted by the comment. You don't have to be of hispanic origin to frown on people making comments like that. |
