DM Thanks for reafirming my entitlement rights though on the mainland here, we're working hard to get people off them and become individualists, not hand-out expecters..
Regarding the Marine One saga, it seems we're at the old "he-said-she-said" impass whereby a court would then be conveined to establish the truth either by jury or judge. Here, all we have is "who is more credible?" Who has a reputation as such? Who was in a better position to know the truth since it appears getting receipt for monies passed isn't likely? Perhaps Nick and most other gentle readers here know all about you, your background experience and positions for oversight of this debate. I don't, but do know that Nick's is an open-book so to speak. If you have any "insider", provable, personal info that would trump Nick's comments that would be of use so please share since Nick's credentials preceded him here. (In socialist countries it means: "His papers are in order comrade.") Are yours or anyone elses? I know it seems like I'm being an apologist for Nick (met him once) but again, who has the best credentials, reputation? Who was in a position to know? And....based on past experience with so-called Europen, goverment funded, aeronatical design and R&M, there's a lot of reason to beleive that it was US tech and $$ that got the 101 to where it's at now, and as we can see today, where it's going in the future. It's Sunday so please forgive the typos and enjoy life vertical and above the ground while we all can!
