Next, I just wanted to share a quick story from the cover of the Army Times today. As you know, we are helping rebuild Iraq so they can defend themselves in the future. We pretty much destroyed their Air Force during the initial assault. Well, they are back and better then ever. In fact, the cover of the paper shows an Air Force commander observing an Iraqi pilot check his new fighter plane.
A Cessna 172.
For you non-pilots out there, here is a picture:

It is a very good primary trainer, Doc. One huge advantage is side by side seating.
We used it for years in our services. Good weight to lift to power; serves well as a primary instrument trainer. Doesn't spin all that well, but is a solid aircraft. Even inverted.
Especially Inverted.
Don't ask me how I know...

Have a GREAT Shopping Day in Iraq.
Sorry, too sarcastic for even me.
