Do tell. It'd have to be a pretty hard packed grass strip I'd have

There's a kit for unpaved strips, but I rather doubt that most grassy
surfaces would be hard enough to resist the weight of the aircraft.



We'll you'll never find out, because you'll nev er fly.


Ever


I, OTOH, have done it.


Now that's not fair, Bertie. I'm sure he's flown.

Bought a ticket and everything.

Yeah, but didn't he move from the US to France? I doubt he went over
on a tramp steamer.


True. I forgot about that.He has more nerve than I gave him credit for.

Maybe they put a computer and some Backstreet Boys posters inside a
container and shipped him.

For them I was thinking O2 masks.




They'll probably pull them off so they don't have to listen to him explain
