- Consider GA to be comprised of nothing but "Tin Cans" and/or "Bug
Smashers"


You were right on with all but this one...

We all talk about ourselves as flying Tin Cans and Bug Smashers... It's
hypocritical to condemn someone else (even MX) for using the same
language.

(OK - here comes the big controversy...)
It's the same type of hypocrisy that I believe exists among people who
complain about being called derogatory names, and then refer to each other
"jokingly" using the same bad words.


The difference?

Our Albatross flies a desk...I actually FLY.

So thankyouverymuch but I'll refer to light GA aircraft in whatever terms I
choose and I don't give a tinkers damn if I come off sounding high and
mighty.
