I have no real interest in flying. My main interest is with History and in Technology.

It tickles my fancy that in the span of one human lifetime we went from the first fixed wing controlled flight to man setting boot on the Moon… the first guy to fly an airplane could have actually met and known the first man to step on the Moon… crazy.

This is also the reason I like the comparisons in the Air Int mags of comparable aircraft types from different time periods.

My sister in laws father couldn’t believe the cost of flying here.. which are helped of course by the exchange rate and he was considering retiring here… to which my brother (his son-in-law) replied… “Just what we need.. another bloody pom!”.
