Over 100,000 Japanese were killed in one conventional bombing mission in 1945 and they still would not give up. What was significant about "the bomb" was not the bomb; it was the demonstrated destructive power of one airplane. And we had thousands. Fortunately, we only had to use two.

Everything that crashes is a "small" something. Journalism is dead.

Stand up. Turn around. Measure your office chair. That's how wide an airline seat needs to be. Not difficult at all.

So how wide is wide? How can you write about wide and narrow without reference to a standard measurement? Do you not own a tape measure?

The only thing I am yet to see is a reference to a "small" Airbus. Reporters apparently have not learned that you can describe airplanes by the number of engines or number of seats; everything smaller than a 747 is "small" to them. An RJ100 crashed in Missouri a few years ago and, sure enough, it was reported to be a "small" commercial airliner.

C'mon. Ranking airports is like ranking porta-potties. They all stink, but for the short amount of time that you need one, any one will do.

We just need to add a trash compactor to the baggage x-ray. If it doesn't fit going in, it sure as hell will coming out.

About a year after deliveries began, I called a Cessna Pilot Center and asked when they were going to have a 162 available for flight training. Owner said he never heard of a 162.
