Thanks sugar,
I tend to be more aircraft oriented, and kind of tune out the carrier stuff because it's like a big dramatic soap opera

...
I will say this though, when I heard they were pushing ahead with the second generation airframe of the AN225 without Volga Dnepr, I was thoroghly gobsmacked!
But hey, business is business, I guess.
Thanks again for the link hon.
Edited because, absolutely nobody needs to use that many emoticons!
