That's it..I'm off to buy a copy of Chickenhawk !
One point I liked was Boof's comment how gun haters tend to talk rubbish about the subject. Couldn't agree more.
I don't have a problem with people who hate things like boxing, foxhunting, skydiving, motorbikes, guns, etc, but the world is full of the "Let's ban it" brigade who base their point of view on emotion rather than knowledge, and all they achieve is yet another "I'm right & you're wrong" argument, but the problem with this website is that the public can read it , and they believe that such comments are coming from professionals aviators, and that does us no favours ...and that's why, in any forum, when we see opinionated emotions like... " I wouldn't fly with a pilot who does XYZ.." we should stamp that sort of thing out asap.
There..I've said it...back to the swamp.
