Sigh....

The real reason our economy has crashed

The real reason our country is in the mess it is in (from Charles Dickens' David Copperfield, 1850):
"Micawber Principle":
"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery."

Sammamish Baptist Church

If you are looking for a new church to attend in the Sammamish, WA area a good one to try is the Foundation Baptist Church.
It is a very nice church in startup mode so not only do you get to hear great preaching and have great fellowship, but you get to be the part of creating a new church in one of the most un-churched areas of the United States.

Hi There

OK, I obviously have not been paying much attention to this blog. Maybe 2008 will be a better year for blogging!

Anyway, here is a photo of my new Lektro tug that they painted to match my aircraft. Cool, eh?!

Question for the day:

I have a few bookmarks set up to track various aircraft and aircraft types on FlightAware.com (such as flightaware.com/live/aircrafttype/P46T for Meridians)
I notice that during a typical day I will see a dozen or so Meridians in the air at any given time (out of a fleet of about 300), 6 to 12 TBMs, a few dozen PC-12s, 2 to 4 Cessna Mustangs (taking out the demo planes) and almost never an Eclipse. My idle question is, if Eclipse supposedly shipped 100 of their aircraft in 2007 where are they? Cessna claims to have shipped 40 Mustangs in 2007 so one would think that there ought to be 2 to 4 or more Eclipse Jets flying at any given time (which seems order of magnitude consistent with Meridian and TBMs too) (Of course the real outlier seems to be the PC-12, those guys really use their aircraft a lot!)
