I'll take that as a "yea." I hate to burst your bubble but you,
McNicoll, simply are in no position to judge my abilities as
a pilot (or anyone else's for that matter). It's laughable and
preposterous for someone like you with your paltry credentials
and experience to sit there at your computer and arrogantly
boast, "I'm more pilot than you can ever hope to be." [yawn]

You're not bursting anyone's bubble. I made my judgment from your
messages,
which indicate you're long on ego and short on knowledge of aviation
matters.

Hiya Steve. Had another great flight today in Two Juliet Tango. How
'bout you -- doing any flying lately? After reading your note above,
as a CFII I was just thinking that if you can drag yourself away from
your 'puter that you really should add on an IFR rating to your basic
private pilot's license. It just may save your butt someday should you
decide to actually fly airplanes rather than just talk about flying
airplanes. In the meantime, be careful and watch out for them clouds.
We don't want ya flying in them things!

Oh Bull**** Marron; put a f*****g lid on it will you for God's sake. Grow
up!!

I've been reading this absolute crap you've been throwing out here all damn
day and I'm sick of it. FWIW, you can add me to the growing list of
dissatisfied customers for what you're selling out here. I don't know what
the hell your pilot quals are and I frankly don't give a flying f**k. From
what I'm reading, I wouldn't get within ten miles of anything you were
flying. So far, I make your emotional makeup at about the frustrated junior
high school level and your "qualifications" somewhere around those enjoyed
by immature wannabes with little plastic sticks on the desks in front of
them.
Nobody gives a flying **** what you can fly and what ratings you have. On
Usenet, it's only the quality of the information you pass that matters, and
your "quality" is beginning to grate on me. Now I can't stop you from
posting this ****. Go right ahead and post on for all I care, but I'll tell
you this. You'll never again be engaged by me at least in anything of a
serious nature on this newsgroup.

The fact remains, you've never flown with me.

Well, Mike, after reading your posts and getting a pretty good feel for
your attitude, I don't think that I would WANT to fly with you! You have
shown nothing but contempt for other pilots and their (unknown to you )
experience.

If you've been reading my posts as you said you were then it should
be obvious that I pretty much hold pilots (esp. fighter pilots) in
high esteem. And it pains me to do it, but these days I routinely turn
folks down who do call me up wanting to fly. So it's perfectly OK by
me if you don't want to fly with me. Really it is! After conducting
countless introductory flights and lessons and flying extraordinarily
hazardous single-pilot IFR etc. sorry but quite frankly I'm tapped out
and would prefer to fly solo just for my own personal enjoyment
instead. However, regardless of whether they flew high performance
jet fighters or Cessna 172's, the first words out of the mouths of
folks who I do take up from time to time is "Holy ****!" and their
parting words are usually something along the lines of, "That was
awesome thanks!" Making others happy still can be rewarding.

May you shape before you have to ship out!

Hard to genuflect online, but damn I'm good!

I am not sure whether Mike is conceited or egotistical. As we all know,
conceit is THINKING you are great; egotism is KNOWING it.

Methinks Mike falls int the "conceited" category!

You're just being just as irrational as McNicoll when he boasted
thusly:

"I'm more pilot than you can ever hope to be."

Now, tell me, whose the one here unable to justify his EGO?

Cute rant there, Dud. Nothing of substance, but rather chock full of
irrational, uncalled-for namecalling, profanity and hypocricy (BTW,
I've known a real fighter pilot, and YOU damn sure ain't no fighter
pilot!) A whole lotta' sizzle and no bacon but I'm still willing to
wager a bucket of cornseed on you vs. Rasimus mano-mano
in the air. And as far as your boy McNicoll's boast that he's "more
pilot than I can ever hope to be," well, I stand by what everything I
wrote.

Have a nice life Dud! :-))))

If the first words out of a passenger were "Holy ****", I would have
some serious concerns about the driver - whatever type of vehicle they
were driving.

The "type of vehicle" is a flexwing trike capable of carrying one and
a half times their empty weight. When I took my first ride as a pax in
one back in '96, I probably whooped "holy ****" or something similiar
myself. The performance is truly amazing and hardly what one
would expect from such a small and simple flying machine.

First of all, you strap into one of these things and there's no
structure around you to offer any sense of security whatsoever.
Then, after a surpisingly short takeoff roll (approx. 200 ft. max
2-up) you literally leap off the ground and climb out at a
breathtakingly steep angle. Nothing at all like those
characteristically flat, booooring climb angles of those spamcans
you've seen taking off at your local GA airport.

The unobstructed view of the ground rapidly falling away below
you is unforgettable. Flying an open-air, flexwing trike is inherently
risky and definitely *not* for the feint of heart. But if you're the
thrillseeker personality type, I guarantee you that nothing else on
Earth delivers more bang for the buck.

In short, I begin to worry if I DON'T hear "holy ****" through the
backseaters intercom!

If he ever flies military, I can hazard a guess as to the call sign his
squadron mates assign him: "Moron."
