Ian,
your right, off topic. If I have to explain the responses (to others comments) I posted, then it's not really worth the effort. This thread is headed down hill fast. I won't fall into the trap of us verses them, democrat vs republican, European vs American, G3 vs....... No thanks. I'd rather go flying.

So Lego (or anyone else) if your ever back in Northern Oregon, let me know, I'll come pick you up and take you flying. I've been all over as well, lived in Italy for several years, Scotland for a while, Australia...... Found flying buddies inall of them and have always been amazed at how our beloved hobby atracts such wonderful people.
