big pistons...then I profoundly apologize.
hey bubbers...what do you think of the comments on P51 guy and protectthehornet? ;-)
It does seem to me that a return to basics wouldn't hurt anyone.
I will relate one more thing if I may.
20 years ago, while based in Boston, I struck up a conversation with a prof at MIT (massachusetts institute of technology)...he occupied the Boeing chair in aeronautics.
he said point blank that the day of the highly skilled pilot was over and that anyone with 300 hours could handle the new computerized planes...and this was the plan so that the new planes could be sold to the countries with more money than pilots!
I asked thime what they would do when the gadgets failed...he said they wouldn't .
Shades of HAL 9000!
go back to basics!!!!!
