HI KIDS.

        I flew triple 2 again for the first time since the engine blew.  She 
is flying on a borrowed engine for now (a long story).  I have a trip in her 
to Canada in the Morning and an appraisal on Monday.  Man is it good to have 
her back!!  jb

You don't have to agree with the French Government's politics (neither do
I), but no one builds a better crafted, stronger, more efficient, better
handling business jet aircraft than Dassault.

Just ask Wing Commander Gordon...he flies one for a living!
As I say, "For a people who eat snails and frogs, the French design and build 
superior airplanes."

To add to what George clarified (re: Michael Jackson, wiggling tails and 
Dassault products) the venerable Falcon 20 is an 8.5 G airframe, a 25 psi pressure

vessel, and when it first came to the U.S., the FAA couldn't wrap their minds 
around the fact that it didn't have an airspeed limit.

And that was their first model designed in the early 1960s!

If you want to fly have a long career in aviation, fly the best airplanes.   
In biz jets, it's Falcons.*

In propeller driven twins, it's Ted Smith's designs.

I think everyone here can appreciate that.

*note I said biz jets, Bilbo.  I don't want to get in the middle of the 
Boeing vs. Airbus debate!
