Cool machine. Can't wait to see it up close one day for whoever forks out the $40M. I was always a new technology kind of guy but maybe I get older I start to think retro can be kind of cool. Whether it's a DC9, 727, DC10 or Beech 18, so going back to (whether it one day happens at NASA or a private company) to rockets and capsules landing in the water is kind of cool.
But the shuttle was some kind of Gnarly Gnarlington Space Assassin awesomeness.

DAL fuel tax breaks
The state of Georgia gave DAL a tax break in 2005 on fuel. That was when DAL was in bankruptcy, but since has emerged a strong company. Sounds eerily familiar:
Georgia pushing fuel tax cap for Delta | Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal

On the other hand, State Rep.Virgil Fludd, D-Tyrone, says the tax break for Delta cost Georgia $24 million in 2010.
I mean, the gubbamint reaches into your wallet and takes out money... and when they DON'T do that.. it "costs" the taxpayers. I wonder (hypothetically of course) how much it would "cost" the taxpayers if DAL were to just up and leave for Minnesota...

Is this even English? Proofreading is a beautiful thing. Maybe you should learn how to do it?

Isn't it typical for a legislator to say something like this:

Geeze!! Is anyone else having a hard time building a schedule this month? I have two weeks vacation (42 hours) and finding something in the last two weeks of in April that fits the LCW is tough. I may be an RLL in April.
Got an interesting email from the LAX reps who are getting an ear full from both planes, but primary the ER guys, about the quality of the trips.
Is anyone else having a hard time building something, or is it just us?

PS NO Saipans in Apr for LAX............what's up with dat??

Naw, let's stay in a state that actually likes and appreciates us. I think Minnesota said something about not letting the door hit us on the way out. Always was a love/hate relationship, especially after NWA broke promises up in Duluth.
