Hi Tom.I knew Tom Main was full of it, but just had to check! :-lolI too could discuss history, at very great length, but I have instead decided to go AOPA Expo a week later. Hey, been to UAL Denver and the Doubletree already. I want to go stay on the Queen Mary again!Better to shop for toys for my Dakota than to discuss "history".Maybe I can get a show deal on an S-Tec 55X.Thanks for the kind remarks, Tom, much appreciated. Best wishes to you. :-)Be sure to buy Maury a beer or 3 on me!I'll deal with Tom Main my own way, and be sure to keep him away from the keg. Or just keep him at the keg, and don't let him mix!! ;-)Best Regards,http://www.dreamfleet2000.com/gfx/images/F...RUM_LOUF_A2.jpg

The end of Flight Simulator development.Now that would present and interesting anti climax to a conference on simulation.In reality - who cares.Andy b

AOPA is the most vocal advocate group around and is the most effective at countering stupidity at the FAA, TSA, state legislatures, city councils, news organizations, etc. If you like the idea of *anyone* having the freedom to fly in the future AOPA deserves your support. Otherwise all the small airports will become shopping malls and the only way the public will experience flight is from the inside of a big metal tube after being strip searched...

You also get what I think is the best flying magazine every month-twice as thick as flying and full of good stuff.... :-)http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg
