" have banned myself from reading politicl posts in here"

Ah!

Big B. Well if you can do it then I can too!

I've been trying to avoid the temptation to spar by sticking to juyst adding my .02 in the non-political topics.

Some people won't fly in the Collings Foundations, and knowing what I know now, I am one of them.

Well so much for accusations on this guy being MrBlack, we can applaud the effort tho. I'm sure MrBlack is still lerking around. We just need some better "accusers" to find him. Whos up for the challenge. Place a bounty on his head, 5 dollars to the man who finds him! I think I have a good clue of who it is, you know who you are, and I'm comming for you.

Can't explain, don't want them coming after me in any manner, but I will tell you one of their B24 pilots who flew in the game Warbirds stopped flying with them for the same reason I won't fly with them in the future.

Took a hop in the CAF's B-17G "SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY" many years back - (around 1983) the charge was $100 - my Dad bought me the flight as a Birthday Present.

One of the best presents I ever got! Got to move around all the positions and even sit in the Co-Pilot's seat for a bit. Best seat in the house was the top turret gunners spot.

If you ever get a change to do something like this DON'T PASS IT UP! If you have any kind of love of Warbirds you will love the experence.

so very true jester......awesome...

too bad i was too young ..pilto told me liek you said..we used to let guys sit an dtake the controls...!!!!!...i want that!!!!

Dago..i find it kindo of wak that you say.."dotn fly with them"..but dont say why./....."come after you"..?...what is this a CIA cover up?

Maybe you shouldnt of bad mouthed the poeple spending millions of dollars and voluterering thousands of hours for us Amercans to see a living tribute to our friends and family from WW2...and around the world...

You kind of did a drive by...and i feel a bit pissed for that, cause I donate money to this cause.

If you feel its so bad..say why or shut up...Dont just "insinuate"..

btw Jester..$100 buck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 dammmm thats good price Ithink they will let you taxi for 100 now..lolol

Greencloud, have you taken perception lessons from miko????

I never said "don't fly with them". Please show me where I made that statement! And please show me where I badmouthed any of them. I await your illustration of these comments you say I made.

I just said I am not going to fly with them, and I know others who won't. That was all I said. You choose to read more into it than that.

I have my reasons, and I will keep it to myself, for my own reasons.

Do what you want, enjoy!

BTW, I did ride in 909 once.

Ok, why? I flew in the 909 and loved it! Gave me an appreciation of what the Mighty 8th had to deal with. Had a great flight, but one could see that there wasn't a lot to keep one alive if a 190 strafed it.

Ok, why?

God there are a lot of dull minded nearly illiterate people here.

I don't care what you do, I don't care if you fly in the Collings Foundations aircraft.

Just for clarity, I will qoute myself, now pay attention:

Now, if those words are too big to understand let me know, in the mean time stop asking me. Just ignore me if you don't care for what I said. I attacked noone, insinuated nothing. Just made a statement of personal preferance.

sheesh
