Al "B" I'm not familiar with, but if I see him I'll send him your way
;-)

Meanwhile, the other Al has pretty much left simming behind, or been
left behind by it since he refuses to play Microsoft's Upgrade Roulette -
which new version of MS software will no longer run on your old machine?
"All of them!"

I think he lurks here from time to time, just checking it out, but
finds a lot of discussion is now on hardware. Now, Doc's posts have always
been that way, but at the same time he has a tremendous amount of fun with
his posts too, so he's forgiven handily.

But yes, certain names not seen in a long time can probably bring
that other Al out of the woodwork. Probably won't have much to contribute,
and in fact only recently fired up the sim again for some practice (yes,
indeed, in those unstable eggbeaters). But he still has a fine enough touch
for flying through hangars in an Aero L-39 Albatross, too...

Allll! And we'll quickly make that Al 'D' ! Mea culpa! Mea maxima culpa!

[suddenly!]

Greasy: "How the $##$# does some 'pagan agnostic' [!] like that Doc Tony
character savvy Latin I wanna' know!"

Fr. Bill [tongue in cheek] : "Agnostics are not necessarily dumb, Mr. G,
.... merely lost!"

;-) [*And trusting mightily in Fr. Bill's decent sparks [read: well
working neurons] and his known sense of humor!]

Anyway, AL! I've missed you, buddy, and I appreciated your comments [and
various others in both the RAS and RAP av groups some months back when
my Dad passed and I did the 'Final Flight' post...ohhh yes...many real
McCoy pilots here from RAP [rec.av.piloting]...you, Pete Duniho [who
I'll respond to as well...and the others who also enjoy flight sims and
their known 'adjunctive' value to the real thing [ A Sudden Voice!
'There Doc goes again!']. Where I came up with Al B...dunno...could be
another one of the sim and/or real McCoy gang!

Hey Al---the helo 'Bluesmobile' --ring a bell? It should ... since you
designed it and I still marvel at your helo stuff [and antics] both sim
and real deal! But then what can be said about a man who felt that
taking off from Meigs with a fully loaded albeit vintage B-36 '6 turnin'
and 4 burnin' "Peacemaker" was 'doable' if one had faith in both pilot
and machine! It was, I believe, at 'that' point where Fr. Bill made with
the ad hoc and prior to your attempt .... 'De Profundis' ! [*'Out of the
depths' ].

More later.

Not a problem. I mean, c'mon, look at that name! It's been mangled by
everyone who ever hears it, and these are people who just heard me
pronounce it. There's a reason I don't market my work under it... ;-)

Agnosticism?!?!? What kind of approach is that? Of *course* you're
lost - atheism is the only way! ;-)

Whoops! Ah, I suspect you really *are* thinking of Al B., somewhere.
No 'real world' pilot here, though I've been in instruction a couple of
times, just couldn't keep money and time auto-coordinated. As they (who?)
say, "I'm not a pilot, but I play one on PC".

Missed you too, amigo, and was wondering what happened. Glad to see
you back and in previous form. Gonna make me start hanging out here again.
I might also suggest you check out alt.binaries.pictures.aviation from time
to time, too, warning you right now it's addictive. But recently there's
been a few posts of your six-n-four there, including the prototype without
the four.


Hey Al---the helo 'Bluesmobile' --ring a bell? It should ... since you
designed it and I still marvel at your helo stuff [and antics] both
sim and real deal! But then what can be said about a man who felt that

You'd be interested in knowing that the Bluesmobile still resides on
my machine too, as my agile little taxiway-hopper. A little sensitive, but
not squirrelly. 'Course, I have a few other custom repaints too...

I think I mentioned last time about doing the old C-130 carrier
landings, quite amusing. Also found out recently that, due to body and
landing gear designs, the B-52 doesn't actually rotate on takeoff, and
can't. The wing is mounted at a positive angle-of-attack, and the pilot
merely builds speed until lift is achieved while held level. Haven't found
a sim model yet that duplicates that (we won't go into what version FS I'm
using...). But I admit to not trying it out of Meigs ;-)

Oh, and scenery woes. Found a couple of detailed packages for my
stomping grounds here in Florida, but they're mutually exclusive due to
buffer limits. Grrrrrr! Real shame, because I like them both and fly
between them often.

But other things have been keeping me busier too, so simming comes in
only occasionally. What I'm doing admitting this on a simming newsgroup is
anybody's guess...

So in closing, I'll leave you with the immortal words of our fearless
leader: "Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"


- Al.

Hey, Doc!

Regarding what I said about alt.binaries.pictures.aviation, you of
all people should visit http://www.b-36peacemakermuseum.org/lastb36/ right
away, I mean right away. Recent posts regarding this site, and the
publication therein, have indicated he has *ten* left and is not sure if a
third edition will be made.

I'll be back later on,


- Al.
