Thanks for the comments Cees. Perhaps my previous comment reflected a little jealousy. I can't help at times but feel jealous of those who get to work so closely with all these wonderful aircraft, either as professionals or volunteers. With young children, this seems to be about the best I can do right now.

One thing is for certain. I have certainly learned alot from this board and a couple of others that I have joined in the last few months. There are lots of people out there who know their stuff!!!
