D Thanks for clarifying that...uh, history. Hey...no problem...anytime. There's a great story about James A. Mitchner as a young boy that tells of him being late for his third grade class one morning. The teacher asks that he arrive at class the following day with a note from his mother explaining why he was late. Michner, ever the one to be innovative, writes his own note and gives it to the teacher the following morning. "In the beginning, God created upon the earth a great volcanic eruptive landscape upon which the very essense of life was just beginning to evolve............................................ .................................................. ........." The teacher looked at Mitchner and said, "James.........is this going to be a LONG story? " Dudley |

HAHA,
That's a good one! My Dad has always been a history nut, so one could easily use ancient Rome or Greece etc. My old man has one of the best senses of humor you could have as well. Kind of a Bob Newhart dry wit, make eveyone in a room laugh and he'd never crack a smile ![]() Patrick student SPL aircraft structural mech "Matt Barrow" wrote in message ...

Our local newspaper had an article on the Dayton Airshow.
They described Sean Tucker's plane as having new wings with eight ailerons. Is this true? Or, is it just the reporter's error? If true, how does it work? The Team Oracle website doesn't show the new wing. |
