When my son was in Boy Scouts, a scout in his troop also committed suicide. It's a difficult thing to accept and process. You and your family have my condolences.

Don't panic...yet.

Yeah, but was bare foot in the snow with a -50 degree windchill? :biggrin:

What if it's your own arse and five passengers? Or your own arse and your 13 year old daughter sitting next to you?

First hand empirical data...the most trusted kind of data. :smilewinkgrin:

Are we there yet?

Score...don't have to correct for that right cross wind. ;-)

Welcome aboard Stan! :thumbsup:

That was a sad day, a high school classmate of mine was on that flight. We went to the same university as well, but this happened several years after that when he was 33. In a nutshell, the NTSB determined the crash was due to shoddy maintenance - specifically in regards to improper lubrication...

Do what you gotta do...go for it! Be safe down there, it's nuts.

It's not about being against the carrots as a matter of principle. It's about giving out carrots and having nothing to show for it - that's what tax payers are against. These are billions of dollars in carrots we tax payers are paying for just to have a lot of these companies go bankrupt (do a...

Hopefully it's better than it looks to my newbie eye. After all, none of those planes look like GA aircraft - so maybe they're well above the effects of the hurricane?

So...is this one of those "do as I say, not as I do" situations? :eek::eek::eek:

Shakespear once asked a similar question..."To be, or not to be?". Silly question...only thing that makes sense is "to be" of course. :-)

IMO, there's nothing a person can't do when that person passionately sets their mind to it. Whether you think you can, or think you can't...you're right. :-)

GTFO! Climate changes?
