I think the most obvious answer is where the AG-5Bs were certified and
produced. Mississippi and West Virginia!
As we say in Alabama: "Thank God for Mississippi (and Arkansas), or Alabama
would be dead last in everything!" And those who bother to look at the
national rankings of things other than Football would see that Alabama
ranks 46-48th most years, beating out only West Virginia, Arkansas,
Louisiana, and MISSISSIPPI! With Mississippi being the only one we
consistently beat.
Therefore, I think the edumacational system in Mississippi and West
Virginia is to blame. <G>
