At any rate, to those of you like myself, who have been around planes for years, I look forward to reading your posts. Since I can't rent the Cirrus from the local FBO as often as I did a year or two ago, I am trying to immerse myself in things aviation in less expensive ways. With 2 kids in college, my disposable income just ain't what it used to be!

I am just old enough to realize that I don't know much, but I sure do love talkin' about planes. Especially fighter planes. Now, if I can only keep from getting "bounced" by some hotshot mod and banned, all will be "Sierra Hotel".
Don't worry porgy, the mod aren't that "hotshot" (well apart from Les of course ) and usually quite relaxed. And not that many are banned, I for instance have been on the forum for more than 3 years and I never even received a warning. So if every-one behaves themselves civilly there is no danger of being banned at all. Unfortunately not everyone realises this and they usually are the ones who get banned. I think and hope you will not be in that category.
Looking forward for your contributions. Don't worry if you feel you don't know that much. As long as you can admit it when losing a discussion it's absolutely no problem. Have fun!
