Barf boats have 1 hull. Every time I'm on a sail boat and dare go downstairs or inside, I wanna barf.

Off the wind of this heading lie the Marquesas. We got eighty feet of the waterline nicely making way. In a noisy bar in Avalon...

3. Free subscription to "Varmint Killer" magazine.
4. All expense night out on the town with Lacy Underall.
5. Right of first refusal on all of Tiger's rejects.

I gotta say something about that guy Carl, and I can sum it all up in just one word: courage, dedication, daring, pride, pluck, spirit, grit, metal, and G-U-T-S, guts! Why, Carl Spackler has got more guts in his little finger than most of us have in our large intestine, including the colon!

I also like:

Proverbs 21:19 (New Living Translation) It is better to live alone in the desert than with a crabby, complaining wife.

And this one is for Satch:
Ezekiel 20:29 (New International Version) Then I said to them: What is this high place you go to? It is called Bamah to this day.

BAMA! I mean BAMAH!

No way, 40,000 before the AE. If we hire by fall then 50,000 posts before Labor Day. Thats my bet.

From coed underboob to rehashing the past to screaming about the future, L&G is not too unlike some of those towns in the bible.

Proverbs 31:6 (New International Version)
Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish.

^^ Thanks to overnights not lasting more than 8 hours the poor pilots in ATL 88 B are unable to get the beer and wine they deserve. Its sad. Don't bid 88 ATL B. You'll go out thirsty.

KC,
Don't know if anyone ever answered your question; with a MD you get S1 passes, not Positive space. You'll be the first space available person on the airplane, but it is not positive space.

If anyone has questions about going through a displacement and getting a paid move, feel free to PM me. My family and I are renters, though, so we I can't tell you much about what assitance is provided to homeowners.

I believe they probably lost their rudder and vertical stab first followed by other components. The vertical fin seems to be the Airbus' achilles heel. Rudder input pressure inputs are a big issue with this aircraft. Although Airbus leads the industry in advancements and innovation, it comes with a cost. Anyone remember how many F-16's became lawn darts before they became a formidable foe?
Hey, watch the lawn dart quotes. Just for the record, a lot of the crashes had to do with the cheap AF buying analog fuel controls instead of digital and a lot of single engine A/C failures and crashes.
