Guys and gals; I've been privy to some email traffic Brent sent out about this subject. Seems I was wrong and Brent is calling the troops to defend Berge (whomever he is). I would suggest that copies of all of the fine rebuttals to the article in Aviation consumer should be sent to the blog page, too. Maybe we will be lucky enough to get an official "Buzz Off" from the intelligencia of the EOC.

Good Afternoon, and isn't it a lovely afternoon! Well never let it be said that our own Paul Berge was afraid of burning his bridges. Or in this case actually throwing dynamite on them !! Check out the following message I received from our Supreme Commander at the front, then click on the link for the latest; You asked for it; Coupe War Phase 2 now on Hangar Flying Theater: http://bergeflyingtheater.blogspot.com/ That's what I like about Paul. I guess we both feel that we have never had to cross that river in the same place twice while traveling down the road of life, so why worry about those bridges behind you !! Meanwhile another front has opened up in defense of the "twin tailed plumber killers". And I will admit this one surprised me. One of the individuals I thought would enjoy receiving the good natured banter we have been sending to one another has taken offense with Paul's sardonic witicisms in the article as published in Aviation Consumer. In relation to what Paul penned in that article he writes; "My opinion of ercoupes is right there with Paul's, but it appears that his great literary talents maybe steering people toward the VAA and not the AAA....." Of course this gentleman is certainly welcome to his opinion. To bad he offered no proof with his charges, nor did he choose to share it with the recipients of this list or with Paul himself. Instead he chose to send it to me, two AAA National Directors (one who is on this list) and a mutual friend. Makes one wonder what his true motivation in this matter is ?? Therefore I will not add credence to his standing in this matter by divulging his name. If he wants he can write me and opt out of any further e-mails this fun loving group will continue to exchange on any number of subjects. Or not . And if this whole situation is causing some of you to have a deja vu moment well those feelings are on the mark. Anyway I hope "Coupe War Phase 2" makes you laugh like it did me. Remember, this old airplane thing is suppose to be "FUN"!! Brent ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Who's never won?
