Klaus,
In the true American spirit, we do not care what the rest of the world
is doing, since it is very obvious that we have the best pilots right here.
It does not seem to hinder Joe or Daryl or any of the rest of the American
pilots a bit at the Worlds that they fly here with skegs. Maybe the rest of
the world needs to look our way and get with the program.

PS. I would gladly go in half with Jerry on any aircraft. As meticulous
and exacting as Jerry is, if an aircraft passes his inspect, it is fine with
me...
