Yeah,  but I don't like much of what I see concerning Mr. McLeod's =

will be much better tomorrow, but he's going anyway.  He's never tried =
taking off at anything like the gross weight he's going to have, but =
he's going to try it in high winds!  He's gotten good information on the =
weather and flying conditions from experienced Argentine air force =
pilots, who advise him not to try it - but he's going anyway!  He has =
attitude gyro problems, but won't wait for the parts to arrive!  It =
seems likely to me that he's going to kill himself and give all of us a =
bad reputation by association (and maybe higher insurance rates as =
