Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Just my opinion, was: Airbus

[E M (pokiebaron]

I've been a fan of cLyde's for the 2-3 years I've been around here too.
I've always liked his "tell it as it is" style.  I don't care what anyone
says, as long as they can back it up, which Clyde always can.

No doubt he has tonnes of flight experience and is an amazing seat of the
pants pilot with lots of bush pilot skills as well.  Good thing too, if he
types in a flight path with the same typing skills he uses to send us all
messages, who knows where you're going to touch down when you climb aboard
Clyde Air. hee hee.  ;-)
