[s-cars] Watch out in France

[Mark Strangways]

Talking about planes for a minute...

    I remember years ago a flight from Toronto to Heathrow then to
Dusslesorf (I believe),  we crossed in the L1011 and stopped at Heathrow
airport. Seems not many connected to Germany so we ended up with about 10
people on board, that seemed to suit the captain just fine. Just after
clearance to takeoff, he revered them RR turbines, stood it up on the arse
end and went up at what felt like a 60 degree angle. What a great ride, like
doing a full line lock with sticky rubber and a big block under you... That
plane just went, seemed to be on the runway for a mere seconds before nosing
into the sky.

This has really fueled my desire to get a pilot's license, haven't done it
yet but still want to. I would enjoy my own little romper for the cottage
trips :-)
It would likely take as long or longer than the Audi, but there are fewer
police to pull me over ;-)...

thought I'd share a story.
