Fares BTW were something like $5,000 for a 2 way flight across the
Atlantic. British Airways towards the end promoted Concorde as a
luxury product and the fares approached $10,000. Here the analogy
ends, this is a cargo plane predominantly.

BTW M5 = about 1500m/s giving a rocket LEO impulse of 6.5km/s. Going
down all the time.

Am I wrong? I think that's the way the Bush administration
works. They genuinely feel they have a right to use the various
agencies as giant pay-back machines. And giant favor-machines
for the firms they wish employment with...after leaving office.



Keep your eye on the horizon down there this summer, eh?


I love politics, how could anyone not love it?
It's like saying you hate the air we breathe!

I don't really judge your stuff right or wrong, I just read it.

I like sunlight as well. But only in moderation.
