Read BD's Comment

My friend BD has made a very nice comment on "The Grass is always Greener". It pisses me off that he's a better writer than I am. After all, it's my blog. And he's exactly right about airplanes. They are not compromises. They are what they are. I think when we go to buy an airplane, we may have to make compromises. And BD is correct that there is a best all around fun airplane, and that is the cub. He doesn't mention what kind of cub though. BD has a big biplane. He's been smiling a lot the last few times I've seen him. Is it the Stearman? Is it the great girlfriend who came along about the same time as the airplane? Or is it that his son just got married and began Med School? I'm happy for you BD. I would praise your flying of Jumbo Jets across oceans, but I have an unwritten rule that my blog doesn't talk about airline flying. Except in reference to Gen. Aviation. If we want to read airline flying stories, all we need to read is AOPA Pilot, or "Flying" and they have it covered. All their writers are big- shot airline pilots. Speaking of big-shot airline pilots, there are a lot of asshole pricks in the airlines. There are also a lot of great guys who love flying and BD is one of them.
