NEWS FLASH! -

Rooters News Service

Southern California's worst air disaster occurred when a small
two-seater Cessna 150 plane, piloted by Leonard H. Anderson of Sun
Valley, California, crashed into a cemetery earlier today.

Search and rescue workers have recovered 300 bodies so far and
expect
the number to climb as digging continues into the evening.

The pilot and his wife, Sigmundi "Moon Unit" Anderson survived and
are
helping in the recovery efforts.

The above quote is attempted satire-sarcasm by the resident
hater-of-all-who-criticize-him-and-cannot-let-it-go. It is, of
course,
a LIE.

No, it's not.

It's fiction. There's a difference.

If fails
both sarcasm and satire from several basic errors.

"If fails both sarcasm and satire from several basic errors"

You ought to do the proofreading thing in a sentence that lampoons
others errors, Lennie.

Firstly, I've never wanted to go into piloting as a career.

Good thing, too. If you were as competent a pilot as you were
engineer, there'd be a smoking hole somewhere.

Flight in general has always been a personal interest; (snip
to...) Flight insurance annual
premiums were approximately equal to ten percent of airframe
cost in the early 1960s; a new four-place single-engine craft
was the same price as a good house.

And those thresholds haven't changed much today if you've priced a
new aircraft.

Had you continued, however, you would have had an Airman's
Certificate that would have remained valid for life. You could have,
then, exercised it's privileges as the opportunites arose.

Personal piloting was
dropped as an avocation even though occupation continued
with avionics development, particularly in radionavigation
systems.

"K4YZ" failed to achieve any humor in attempting a pseudonym
for my wife.

The lack of humor comes from your lack of respect for her acting
the way you do in public.

"Sigmundi" wouldn't be correct even in humor. There
is some similarity to "Sigismund" (see Wagner's opera "Die
Valkerie" but note the gender of that character). "Moon unit" is
already taken by the late Frank Zappa's daughter's given name.
He could have tried something more clever, such as "Amelia
Airhead," but that, I think, has already been taken.

Yes, it has...It's gotten us into more than one tickle-fest.

It's been decades since I've had my hands on flight controls in
a real aircraft and have no desire to do so now although all
other aspects of flight remain a personal interest. Principles
of aerodynamics were learned personally long ago while the
principles and techniques of aeronautical electronics systems
and radionavigation remain and are useful in work. I do not
own (in any way) any real aircraft, have never done so.

And never will...Just like your Amateur Radio station.

None of the above has anything to do with amateur radio, let
alone amateur radio policy.

Neither does your Army career, your wife's alleged education and
licensure, or your flirtation with aviation. But you never pass up a
chance to enthrall us with those subjects as your will takes you.

"K4YZ" has charged me repeatedly with plagiarism, the
stealing of already published written work. Unfortunately, he
is accusing himself of such in the poor, rewritten copy of that
old "Polish joke."

So far, you've not proved any of my allegations as inaccurate.
It's been several years.

It was not only in bad taste, but of poor comedic quality.

To you.

Amelia Airhead should feed the guy better material...SNL
caliber that wasn't.

SNL calibre it need not be.

"I am laughing at the superior intellect".
