    Bwhaaa haaa haaa

    Sadly more and more libraries are downsizing their book collections to make room for computers and meeting spaces. We are still fortunate that libraries will transfer books around between branches and Westminster, Broomfield and Anythink are pretty good about ordering books that they don't already have.

    Good book. Better than the movie.

    If I could only choose one; a great book, or a gun...it would be a very sad day and a terribly difficult choice for me. I pray that choice never has to be made.

    Believe it or not, private aviation is under attack by our government in much the same way as gun ownership is. I don't know what the government's end game is, but it sure seems to me that it wants to squelch anything I personally deem as being entertaining or "fun".

    IMHO, Mr. Ford is definitely one of the good guys.
    Thank you. Harrison Ford loves aviation. He doesn't parade around like Travolta with his fake 4 stripes ( those are earned on shitty nights in bad weather with people in back). He spends thousands of his own dollars to promote and protect the GA industry. In my book he's solid. He just loves to fly.

    Again...didn't he do this just a few weeks ago?

    Oh...there was a server issue and we lost a few weeks? Everything got set back? He survived and has been healing up and not out crashing more aircraft...ok.
