Awesome picture!! I believe one will also be preserved in Seattle, near the Beoing plant there.
Yes, it's there (The Museum of Flight) and on display now.

Someone wrote this unsollicited out-of-the-blue e-mail last Friday:
(I thought is you, the person stayed unidentified, and only two people to my knowledge have that e-mail)
"Have been reading your responses on USMS for many months now. Why don't you
get a ****ing life and leave those people alone. I am sick of your
eurotrash attitude and you need to find something better to do with your
time and learn how to swim before you shoot that condescending attitude off.
I am sure I speak for everyone on there when I say grow up and learn how
to take criticism like a man. If you can't, then let your ass get kicked in
the pool like always and we'll all laugh along watching you fail miserably
and make lame excuses that you started late and can never be as good. There
is also something called talent that you don't and never will have, if you
can't face it, then too bad for you."
Ion....they DO NOT speak for all of us out here! If that e-mail was sent to you....I am embarrassed for them!!!! Yes, discussions get heated.....it takes TWO to argue!! A simplistic mind is not open to other points of view!
I honestly have to laugh at how thin skinned a good number of you out there are!!!! Lighten up! It is NOT life and death in here in the discussion forums!
One of my favorite sayings!!!!
"Life is Tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid"

The other is "Principals before Personalities" Think about what that means!!!!
By the way....Smile:D Life is way too short!!!!!!!

Sparx:
Just because you passed your AVIATION REMOTE CONTROL "A"
exam doesn't make you a good pilot.
(just kidding, if you don't know where this is coming from, apologies!)
Yeah, I read that too, on the bulletin board that I maintain, that if the initial post is deleted, the entire thread goes.
I suspected that was the case with Ion's thread.
Me too (corrected, that is), and am I glad! I would have missed you all.
Jim - I did like that phrase as a phrase, but I also should have been more sure of the story. I am sorry for saying it.
I agree that there are some *posts* that should be deleted.
