Me too, from reading about it in Richard Bach's anthology 'A Gift of
Wings'.  It's not a very pretty aeroplane but I like the big cockpit and
land anywhere attitude.  Just remember to put the gear down for your first

Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience
prove you wrong.  Remember: when the emperor looks naked, the emperor *is*
naked, the truth and a lie are not "sort-of the same thing" and there is
no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
