 But we have some of the finest aircraft IN THE WORLD!

Oh, is that why you invented Rugby after your football team was beaten
6:3 and 7:1 by Hungary in 1953? :-)

 Hehe funny :). 
 
 In reality, Rugby came first in 1823 :). Quite interesting as it was
 sporting back then to kick someone on the shin...Of course this is a
 tradition being carried forward by soccer players...

 PS trying to get back onto some Linux subject, any well known sporting
 figures using Linux and aren't afraid to say so? Or any well known
 figures using Linux/FlightGear?

Well, my professional soccer career never quite took off like I
hoped. :-P

The best I can say is that one year I played on a team with a guy who
later played a couple years professional here in the USA.  Now (like
many other not-very-good never-has-beens) you might see my face show
up in a local rec league once in a while. :-)
