Hamid,

 

To paraphrase Dennis Miller, my favorite comedian, Maybe I see life (and all the airplanes crashing) more like checkers then chess.   Whatever strategy one would employ to outmaneuver a threat based on an anticipated strategy five moves beforehand- well that’s chess.  Checkers- jump on it and fix it right away.  Regardless of cause, it seems to me there is a higher rate of turbine Lancairs crashing than the standard piston versions- some for good reasons and some for not so clear. I don’t have access to exact numbers of flying type’s hours and so on- but the turbine crashes have taken a front row seat.  That is why one can’t get turbine insurance in Minnesota.   I would like to understand the why and what in that equation.

 

I have no other agenda other than to point out what seems obvious to me.  I may be wrong; I hope so.

 

Regarding politicians (Poly- many tics-blood sucking creatures), well, I am a surgeon so I am not sure if you are trying to compliment me. 

 

Michael

Mike,

The issue is very simple.  You mad a statement.  People asked you to back it up with facts.  You responded by claiming that you never said what you had posted.  It is not a matter of nitpicking semantics -- it is a matter of you acting like a politician and that is not acceptable behavior.

Regards,

Hamid
