    Mark....a very ignorant and totally unnecessary comment. Who the f**k made you arbiter and critic of someone's music tastes??

    If you're into aerobatics, you might want to avoid 999 numbers as well. It turns into the devil's plane when you fly inverted.

    Not sure where you got the idea he was being critical of someone's music tastes. He was just indicating HIS tastes. Or is it YOU that's being critical???
    Someday I'll come up with something profound to put here.

    Yeah, mouse gets it. I was speaking of MY taste in music, and commenting on the fact that I totally missed the opportunity to brag on my all time favorite band. Seriously, I was jumping off the parents coffee table with a blue bass in 1985 while jamming to Live After Death... wishing I was Steve Harris.

    Anyhow... calm the F down over there.

    Your reply to Janet sounded as if it was dripping with sarcasm and facetiousness to both of us and perhaps others who chose not to respond. Thank you for your clarification, I apologize for misinterpreting.

    You might want to avoid a number that ends in Tango Uniform.

    Back in the 60's when I was in the Air Force reserve we used the last 3 numbers of the Military registration. We had about 16 C-119G's and one was 999, but we never did any inverted flight. The C-119 had all it could do to get off the ground. We had 668 which was the squadron hanger queen and was commonly referred to as "sick, sick, ate". I wonder if somewhere in the Air Force or Navy inventory somebody's proudly flying 666!

    We had a F-106 tail #164, It's nickname wasn't very nice. "One sick Wh***"

    It may be the cold or the cold medicine, but I'm not picking up the reference there.

    There's a guy with a homebuilt here that ends in "168" whose plane has the nickname of "one sick b****".
