Yes indeed.... but whilst 'money' keeps it in the air.... it's the paperwork that permits it to be in the air...

and 'paperwork' wrapped in Red Tape can get expen$ive too...:mad:

The long and the short of it is that if it doesn't have enough AIRSPEED to get airborne, it will not fly. Take conveyors and treadmills out of it. They have no effect.

Funny you should say that, - my Instructor had a fetish for me maintaining sufficient AIRspeed... made the occasional reference to 'staying alive' . . . ;)

You don't have to convince me, most of my job revolves around paperwork, auditing it, creating it, trying to not let it take over the place:)

I find it more convenient to set my preferences to show 30 posts per page, so I see only two pages. :)
Furthermore a significant number of posts were pointing out why the people who think the plane won't take off are wrong.
Surely those posts serve a useful purpose and don't fall into the category of whatever you described in terms that the swear filter modified. :)
So if roughly half the posts were useful, that leaves just one page that was humbug. :)

Your comment about airspeed puts you in the "fly" camp yet other coments suggest otherwise.

his comments about airspeed puts him in the NO FLY camp.

NO AIRSPEED - NO FLY.... get it?

I see you are still under the delusion that the treadmill can prevent the plane getting airspeed. :)

Did you miss Hugh Jar's comment about the effect the treadmill has? I think his recognition that the treadmill has no effect puts him firmly in the FLY camp. :)

Wrong - it puts him in the 'fly' camp. I didn't even know it was still up for discussion, it's been proven beyond any doubt.
