Ed;

We are about as far apart as anyone can get in our political
thinking for sure.But, I really think that the site is excellent and I
am looking forward to more great flying stories. I think that another
topic for a book should be more toward the nuts and bolts of being a
fighter pilot.Some of your posts dealing with tactics and the hows and
whys of fighting and flying are exceptional.
Keep the good stuff coming,
Frank;

Fear not, Fred. I'm not going to make the web site a personal podium
for political posturing and positions (excuse the blatant
alliteration.)

I'll post interesting stuff that I encounter or editorials that I
might be prompted to write. I've been teaching political science at
the local community college for the last six or seven years, and have
taken a lot of pride in avoiding the indoctrination mode and trying to
get young people to think.

You can't get a leopard to change spots, but in certain lights, the
leopard can look either very dark or very light and sometimes not
spotted at all.
