  1. http://www.aopa.org/ Somewhere on this website is a calculator for aircraft ownership. A buddy of mine and I sat down to figure out how much it would cost to own a an airplane. We found a 67 Skyhawk in great shape, low time on the engine,etc. It turned out to just park it on the ramp at a local airport would run us about $1,500/month. Starting the engine would make it expensive. L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock

  3. Oh Kev, you always know the right thing so say. Remind me to give you a big hug this weekend. Also, remind me not to shower for the rest of the week.

  5. If everything is correct, that doesn't seem like a bad deal to me. New Gear packages, which typically don't include a Cypres run around $3500.00. I started out with a set up much like this one. Still have the Infinity. Moved down to smaller canopy. The Hornet's sold so cheaply for awhile because of the exchange rate between the US $ and the S. African Rand. I really liked my Hornet.

  6. "I LOVE snakes... gators, crocs, lizards but not frogs... " I think snakes are really fascinating creatures. Unfortuanately we have an abundance of diamondbacks at the the DZ.

  17. Why would anyone want to spy on you? With almost 300 million people in the US, why you? - Why not him. Or me or you. Say the right thing, say the wrong thing to the right person/the wrong person. Complain a little to loudly or pointedly and next thing you know you're a terrorist. "Those who are not with us are against us" I heard tell there are over two hundred known communists working in the State Department right now. I think there is even a list. Oh wait...I'm sorry different paranoid Why would they want to wiretap you or akarunway. Do you feel you pose some sort of threat? - That sounds a "there, there" from a third grade teacher. Not a particularly effective distraction tactic. L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock
  18. Gen. Grant had lots of critics in the Civil War. Did President Lincoln "not get it"? Likewise, with Generals such as Halsey, Lemay, Montgomery, Patton and MacArthur. But they all won battles and wars. Just because you can find someone that criticizes them, doesn't mean that their methods won't work to win the war. No they still don't get it. And most likely won't. . Don't you find it the least bit unusual that this many general officers directly involved with the conflict at hand would come out publicly and so soon after retirement and openly criticize the very Administration they were just workng for?

  20. Israel has approximately 100 deliverable warheads. Iran has none and may or may not have any for some time to come. Better intelligence and less rhetoric would be part of the solution. If we stopped threatening everyone we disagree with could be another part of a solution. This is a complicated situation and calls for some creative diplomacy from many different avenues. An imbalance of power, by the way, can often be another part of a solution. Ronald Reagan used the collapsing weight of the Soviet Union, it's foolish invasion of Afghanistan and billions of American dollars to bring an end to the Cold War, without really firing a shot(at the Soviets). Not to shabby for an actor. PS. Get out your Atlas and your encyclopedia. If you think Iraq is a difficult country to control, have a look at Iran.

  21. I think we should be careful to seperate the current government of Iran and the people of Iran. I sincerely doubt the people of Iran and the Mullahs that run the country share the same ideals. Perhaps, but the people don't have control over the nuclear program, or the potential use of developed weapons. Agreed. Now what?

  22. I say it's many on here who don't get it. Should Rumsfeld go? I think it's probably time. Are you ready to follow the rest of the Generals' recommendation? I doubt it. I do agree with much of his assessment. I think you have my point exactly. Am I ready to follow the rest of the general's recommendation? In my opinion it should have been followed in the first place. Then we agree. Funny, I remember taking a lot of flak last year when I suggested we increase the number of troops in Iraq so we could just go ahead and win and get out. Mainly by the most shrill on this site. - I have been completely against this war from the beginning, but to commit, foolishly or wisely, American troops to combat and not give them the complete means to prosecute it as quickly as possible is just criminal.

  23. That leads right back to McNamara and the general's problems with him... or Powell's problems with Aspin. How about the huge budget cuts to the military under Perry and Cohen? There has to be a "sweet spot" somewhere...finding the right amount of military experience. Don't you think that budget cuts are considerably different than ignoring the advice of commanders in the field? Under fire? The issue is Rumsfeld and his heavy handed attitude towards his subordinates. Not what some Sec. Of Defense did in the past. The issue at hand is the war in Iraq.
