Mexico has an air force? What do they fly?

They still operate T-33's and F-5's.
Dunno about anything else.

As someone who is of hispanic descent and who flies professionally, I find this
insulting. Actually, I would find it insulting even if I didn't fly.

Agreed. Notice there were not many rushing in to share his glee. White
people call me *white* (think, white solar panel..yes, you might be
blinded if I take my shirt off outside...hehe) and I was disgusted by the
comment. You don't have to be of hispanic origin to frown on people making
comments like that.

Hmm. They had some great teachers; the USA stole half their land 150
years ago.


Mexico's per capita income is less than $9,000 and life expectency is
72 years compared to
more than $36,000 and 76 years in the U.S. The real tragedy is that
we didn't steal all of it and save the Mexican people from the
grinding proverty imposed by their corrupt government.

Mexico actually applied for admission to the United States as a state on one
occasion.

I am sick and tired of PC! The term was invented by none other than Joe
Stalin!

A feew years ago, I was based at Palo Alto, CA, where a mapping company
had an Aero Commander equipped with an $80,000 mapping camera. The plane
and camera disappeared one Friday night. Radar tapes traced it to a dry
lakebed in Mexico, along with five or six other stolen planes.

It took several months for the plane and camera to emerge, piecemeal,
from Mexico, and only after a lot of pressure on the Mexican government,
who had a contract with the mapping company.

Who gives a damn about PC!

I asked you if you were a racist.
