Congratulations, Copper.

This addiction can be very expensive. I assume you have heard of the $500 hamburger?

When in college I had a buddy who flew and we'd get a couple of ladies and go up to the Sedona airport for those (they were $100 burgers in the early 80s).

An airplane is the perfect dating machine.
The dogma lives loudly within me.

Copper, have you read any of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's books? He is famous for "The Little Prince," but he wrote, "Wind, Sand, & Stars," and "Night Flight To Arass," and a bunch of others about the early days of flight. He started out as a pilot, flying the mail from France to Africa, and to South America. I simply can't recommend, "Wind, Sand, & Stars," enough.

Thanks, I'll look into it.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy
