Thank you, PoC, I've ordered the Airplane issue.
Glad everybody doesn't think my "attitude" disqualifies from researching and writing about this issue, a job I've been doing, on various subjects, since 1960--probably rather longer than Al the Driver has been doing his work. Indeed, I suspect I've been flying longer than he has, and the many tac pilots I know give me somewhat greater confidence in their opinions about airplanes than do those of the ground-pounders.
