Don't you have anything useful to contribute? How about something
about aircraft or aviation instead of personalities.

It should be beneath the dignity of a medical doctor to indulge in
this sort petty diatribe, but I suppose it deptnds on the individual
doc....

So if someone has "character," he doesn't need flying ability or
training to get a pilot's license?


Wel, that rules you out on both counts.

Well, when the RAF catches up on the technology, I'm sure it will be able to
drop laser-guided bombs from 20,000 feet, too.


What part of ground attack don't you understand?

If it is aviation related please be assured that MX understands nothing
about it.

The last time I looked, that was their perogitive. If they don't feel

The whole world doesn't have to be just like us, do they?

This last one has some particularly comical comments below it. I
particularly like the one where americans are criticised for calling
people "sir" all the time.

But really, you have to see a brit tourist resort to believe it. They
have a number of airlines that do nothg but fly drunken louts to the
mediterranean, the carribean, florida Thailand ( you can imagine what
that's for) and elsewhere, where thye generall mock the natives for
their poor english, snub the food in favor of fish and chips , end up
secrewing and fightinga ll over the place and generally leaving the
place poorer in spite of the money they blow....
