Re: Serious answers where will I get funds from?

This is exactly what I did. If you find an inside reference at CN rail you might not even have to pay for conductor sch...

Re: What would you choose if you had to pay for the maintena

Pie you didn't offer any answer to my question, but I'll answer yours, I'd take a firing squad. Can't imagine losing my head and hanging seems a bit degrading.Shiney Side's comment gave the future in-laws a big scare, they have relented and agreed to pay for all the parts. ---- You; however, have to...

What would you choose if you had to pay for the maintenance?

1980's vintage Beech Baron 58P
1980's vintage Cessna 340A
or 1980's vintage Piper Aerostar 601P

As a dowry, you have to pay for 5 years of maintenance on your future father-in-law's aircraft... which aircraft type do you hope he has parked in his hangar at YZF?? :shock:

185 nose over

Thanks,
