I am in agreement with everyone on here.. Its a really moving moment when you see all the vets file past the memorials - the losses they gave for future generations (us) That said, I always seem to find myself asking the same question - what the hell was it all for at the end of the day?

:D What's wrong with a little water sking. Done it many times with Piper Pawnee and also Ag Cat. Mind you it was in my younger years, It is no big deal as long as you keep the speed up and the water isn't rough.

:( From the Cargo side it will hurt us big time. Cargo companies will be out of work. UPS, Fedex and such will use the US airplanes because of US unions. It has cost us contract's in the past. UPS union says no go and it is no go. No Canadian company can fight the US unions.
