BBS... naw, but there are a few of that know quite a number in the warbird community. I have made calls to 4 different guys, and they have never heard of this clown.
The most interesting call I have made though was to a gentleman who is quite interested to find out ole mr. straiga's name so he can verify if his F-14 statement in his bio is true.
One way or another, we will find out his name, it would be best if straiga were to fess up, as the other way might be a bit embarassing to him.
Ohh, to add to what you said Moose, 9PL were the last three of the N# on my first solo. It was a C-172 and it was all white with a putrid green highlight down the side. I remember that, and it's been 16 years since I first soloed.
