What "point" would that be? That I make a single non-critical comment and get jumped on by (now) several people trying to suggest I've said things I didn't? Is that the point?

I "get" that this is a beginners forum. I also "get" that it might be useful information to tell beginners what the real world value of a kinda busted trash plane like a Skyraider is, so they don't invest much in an albatross unless its just a labor of love they intend to fly and not resell.

I "get" that the OP is a great guy, and stands beside Mother Theresa altrusistically.

So what aren't I getting? I'll tell you - I can't fracking figure out why you guys keep attacking.
