He's not wrong but he's not
right if you know what I mean.

Yes, we all lived through the Clinton years, we know that it depends
on the definition of "it" and not wrong but not right, etc.


Em, ok, not quite the same thing...


You would think that if you could grasp that subtlety, though, you'd
have sussed out the more recent string of lies...

I was channel surfing the other day and caught the tail end of some
show
about rich people and their planes. Anyway the pilot of this one
single
engine turbo prop said there was no mechanical connection between the
prop and engine. How can that be?


I didn't catch the name of the plane. but as I remember, there were 4
seats in the passenger area, and it was pretty roomy. The only other
distinctive thing I can remember is it had a fairly large cargo door
with a power assist to close it because it was so far over head when
it
was open.




It's a free turbine. Most modern turboprops use that system. There's a
seperate turbine that runs the prop geabox. He's technically incorrect
since that turbine is part of the engine... Bertie


Rich people. More money than brains.

Envious people - generally stupid.
