For some reason, my computer won't let me open any of my PM's, both previously sent and any new ones. (There are times when I REALLY DO hate these machines) Broken Computer

Please feel free to ask me anything in an open forum, or send me an e-mail, until I can figure out what the problem is here. Thanks!

OK, since I can ask anything, and since you spend a lot of time up there anyways,

Why is the sky blue?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Hmmm, and what are those white lines the planes leave in the "blue" sky?  Can you see them behind you?

If you fly at the speed of light, and then turn on the landing lights, can you see behind you ?

Now that I think about it, what really does keep the plane up there?

If the plane runs out of fuel in flight will it stop before it hits the ground like on Bugs Bunny?  Ok that that was not funny, but on Bugs it wasrofl.  I sent you a PM about where you live in respect to my wife's cousin.  I don't have your email address though, maybe you could send it to Steve or Jody and they can forward it so you don't have to post it.

I can see this is going to be fun. Slap

"OK, since I can ask anything, and since you spend a lot of time up there anyways,

Why is the sky blue?"

Because it is my favorite color.

"Hmmm, and what are those white lines the planes leave in the "blue" sky?  Can you see them behind you?"

Contrails...and if I had eyes in the back of my head, I COULD see them. If we made a 90 degree turn, we can see them easily.

"If you fly at the speed of light, and then turn on the landing lights, can you see behind you ?"

Uh, nope...the speed of light is the same for landing lights...if you turn them on, you will see nothing in front, as you will be flying as fast as the beam.

"Now that I think about it, what really does keep the plane up there?"

Money...spend enough and you can make anything fly.

Just remember:

1. maintain thy airspeed lest the ground rise up and smite thee.

2. the roughness of the engine (you luckily don't fly piston planes) is directly proportional to the darkness of the night and the darkness of the terrain below you.

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

"I've got him…. ;)

What year was my 357 SM serno 1363 made…?"

1985 or 1986...my 1436 was purchased December, 1986

"why do they call it a cockpit?"

Cockpit as a term for the pilot's compartment in an aircraft first appeared in 1914. The term is most likely related to the sailing term for the coxswain's station in a Royal Navy ship, and later the location of the ship's rudder controls.

"why do my shoes squeak when walking?"

Are they full of water?

"what would you do for a klondike bar?"

Nothing...don't really care for them. Now, an Almond Joy....

"How many licks does it take….?"

Enough to finish it.

"If a man watches a tree fall in the forest, and his wife isn't there to hear it…is he still wrong?"

Absolutely...it is ALWAYS the man's fault, and he will continue to be beaten over it.

"I had to join in.

What were you thinking?"

Obviously, I wasn't.

"If I'm at the range with no one else there and I turn my four-five sideways and shoot it gangsta style will my friends know I did it????"

Yep, now that you've told the entire world you shoot that way.

"This is going to get WAY out of control."

Yes it is...and YOU started it.
