.Why do aeroplanes fly ?
Because they can

Dude was doing just fine having a conversation with himself. He asked
the question, and he answered it. We all intrued into his
conversation. We should have left him alone to talk to himself.

They fly because of money.... :/ Money generates both lift and thrust.....

I actually thought someone had generated an email address that would
look like MX's to write spoof postings, but if you click on the handle
it comes back to the artest we know.

It must be so lonely in Paris. . . .

And somehow his 'I have a life" simulator must have failed. too.

Bertie, was 'nope' the best you could do? Do you expect a woman to do
a man's work here?

Of course he does. Why would things be any different here?



Thenkew.

Honestly.

Well, that's good for the US registration. But what about the rest of them?

THIS is the real reason.

And let it be known as well that lift and thrust are directly
proportional to the AMOUNT of money spent :-)

I suspect he'd bet somebody that he couldn't post a single thing here
without a long thread starting with dozens of people jumping on him to
tell him how he's wrong.

Jacques: Hi Tony. What's new with you?

Tony: I've made myself the center of attention on an online discussion
group. I can post the most obvious, innocuous statement and it will draw
dozens of responses.

Jacques: That seems unlikely. People are much smarter than that. What is
the nature of this discussion group?

Tony: It's a discussion group for pilots. I think they are full of
themselves. I could post something like "aircraft fly because their wings
generate lift" and I am certain that because I was the one who posted it
that it would create at least 30 responses.

Jacques: Pilots have to be pretty smart to get where they are. I can't see
how that would generate any responses. Okay, I could see maybe two or three
but dozens seems entirely out of the question. You aren't that important.
Pilots are trained to exercise good judgement.

Tony: Ha! I'm willing to bet you 20 euro that if I post the sentence
"Fixed-wing aircraft fly because their wings generate lift as they move
forward through the air," I will get at least 30 responses.

Jacques: Nonsense! That would not be worthy of response. Tell you what - if
you get more than 5 responses, I'll pay out 1 euro for every response over
that count - but not over 25 euros. If you get 5 or less responses, you owe
me 25 euros. And no cheating! That seem fair?

Tony: You're on!
