My Leica's and self feel better about security and the flight itself. In all my years of flying peacetime and war, with a few mishaps along the way, I've never had any trepidation on leaving the ground in any kind of plane, fixed wing or helicopters. But I'm sure like many others, there is this damn little gnawing in the back of my mind about my first flight since 9/11. And damn it, I wish it would just go away and leave me as innocent as I was before. But the many LUG flight reports since have been encouraging that things are not as bad as one is led to believe in the panic driven media! So Steve, Tina and others thanks for the positive notes of boarding your first flights again. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
