Mike, Stu
and list,
What
Stu says about Italy is really true. I spent 2 weeks there last year, and I cannot wait
to see more of it. The people are some of the friendliest on the planet. You need to free yourself from that Matteo nonsense and just get back to the good old USA safely.
Matteo,
The time and money you have invested in learning about
meteorites would have been better spent in therapy.
Buzz off.
Run that through your translator.

At an airshow, maybe. Never over populated areas unless there is an

fuel out in a burst. Another think wrong with this scenario is that if
ignited, the burning fuel rises like a plume.

Perhaps so, as it would be in any country that does not allow meteorites
to be exported. However, done this way, then the meteorites become
