    …and there was me thinking they were ‘sitting in the desert fading and rusting’. 🙂

    Now, that was me, Mark and I’m sure your well aware of that 😉 but thats only 20% what about the other 80%? And yes, things do rust out here….

    I still don’t get why Michael Moores “sometimes bodyguard” carrying a gun has anything to do with Michael Moore himself. I don’t recall reading that he was in Michael Moores employ at the time of the incident- why does what he do in his private time have to coincide with what Michael Morre does or does not preach?

    How do you know that when in Michael Moores employ he is not told not to carry a gun? You know nothing about this incident and how it does or does not apply to Michael Moore so perhaps you just leave his name out of it completley. I’m talking to all of you.

    Michael Moores “sometimes bodyguard”? C’mon- it’s not as if they’re best friends. I’d go as far as to say he probably barely even knows the guy. And, I don’t know that Michael Moore ever took issue with licensed bodyguards carrying guns. It’s children, unstable people (Timothy McVeigh types) and criminals he didn’t want having guns… And he took issue with the government who makes it easy to get them.

    *Edit- Yes, I did see Bowling for Columbine, and he did take issue with bodyguards carrying excessive weaponry for their employers. I’m still not sure it’s the same thing….but I was mistaken in saying he did not take issue with bodyguards carrying guns*

    I was the pasty-white fella with a big smile, wearing shorts and sandles (with socks, of course), a knotted handkerchief on his head and face rapidly going lobster red…

    Hi J-
    My comments werent meant to lessen the work done at Pima at all. It was more just feeling that it’s a shame that these great pieces of history are sitting in the desert fading and rusting- though the paint and tape helps preserve the insides of the planes, it can be the different markings that are fascinating, to me, and they fade and eventually become undistinguishable in the relentless sun.

    I was amazed and proud of the work being done to preserve these planes by the museum staff and volunteers, and this most recent visit made me feel that even more. My comments were not made to slight anyone; only to express a feeling of sadness that more can’t be done to preserve the planes. It perhaps wasn’t right to say they werent well maintained, but that was only my observation and after visiting a second time (and especially after visiting AMARC) I can see that indeed, a lot is done to keep them maintained.

    Must get back to the desk but will print it out and read it there; it looks to be very interesting, to say the least.

    The CIA World Fact Book is a listing of every country and their, well, facts. Population, GDP, government, leaders, statistics, exports and imports, political atmosphere and weather. All that sort of thing. It can be kind of boring, but for the most part it’s interesting and is a great reference guide.

    I don’t believe this. I am not going to say anything because I will get banned.

    LOL If anybody learns slowly… 😉
