I don't think Maxdry said he had been to thunder city. I too think TC is awesome - I'd love to go .......ah...one day! Lightning for me.
MDP might be observed as a triffle enthusiastic but why are people on this forum so un-aviation in spirit? The next person who corrects un-necessary spelling mistakes or gets the hump goes straight off my Christmas card list!

Talking of Lightnings and Christmas card lists - 'Spock' are you out there?
