How many is "many, many flights" ? I recently saw someone boasting about having loads of flights on a JJ, when he had only flown it about 20 times [X(]... to many of us, 20 flights is a weekend's flying, and nothing close to indicating reliability. Tell me about your 200+ flawless flights with a JJ, without it having to be repaired (with the exxception of FOD / crash damage), and I'll consider it reliable.

BTW, the quote in your sig line, that you attribute to Chuck Yeager, is in fact generally attributed to W.W. Windstaff.
