So you just had to send this out just before we all board planes to head to the board meeting, didn't you. I find it comforting to know that if something goes wrong while I'm on a flight, I'll be one of the first to arrive at the crash site. Passenger: So how far will this little plane fly without refueling? Pilot: All the way to the crash site. -- Andy At 01:17 PM 12/31/2006, dick@pobox.com wrote:

I have a framed copy of a vintage photo (circa 1915) of a similar accident.

A retired Navy pilot friend sent me this update today.

Happy New Year.. and be careful out there!
