What is up with this fixation on planes large enough for Gary Coleman to have used for a personal transport? Other sited sell these behemoths, but at steep prices. So you come over here asking for a plane with a wingspan the size of a Wookie, and expect it to be under $500. You should just be happy to get the plane in the high quality and detail that Alpha and Company have been able to bring us.I would also point out that larger planes are easier to fly and,most importantly, to see for all us baby boomers.

Truth is, big planes fly better. With the removable wings and stuff, they are easier to transport. I guess the issue is obviously flying space. Kinda like the fish tank thing with smaller fish in smaller tanks....Ya know....

Originally posted by Gilatrout View PostWe get homeless, the kind that live out of thier cars, because we have a pit toilet and.water provided and maintained by the city.
Recently the city started locking the toilets up at night. Since then, I've seen feces in the parking lot.

I have to wonder where these people are supposed to go? Is it just the cost of housing that turns these folks homeless? If so, there needs to be some sort of program to help these folks get back on their feet. They are fellow Americans after all. We have a fellow member of this forum who has found himself in the same boat and I love seeing the compassion for him. Don't mean to get political but this seems to be a nation wide issue and by the way, allot of these people are veterans.

Tommy
by Runyard Kipling
I WENT into a public 'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, " We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, go away " ;
But it's " Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's " Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play.
I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, wait outside ";
But it's " Special train for Atkins " when the trooper's on the tide
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's " Special train for Atkins " when the trooper's on the tide.
Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap.
An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Tommy, 'ow's yer soul? "
But it's " Thin red line of 'eroes " when the drums begin to roll
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's " Thin red line of 'eroes, " when the drums begin to roll.
We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Tommy, fall be'ind,"
But it's " Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's " Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind.
You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Chuck him out, the brute! "
But it's " Saviour of 'is country " when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An 'Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees!
