[s-cars] Watch out in France

[Erics Mail]

You should fly out'a John Wayne airport in Orange County some time.  They
have to do that EVERY TIME!  Noise abatement laws force them into a very
steep climb, followed by a low power stall over the houses.  REALLY a BLAST!
Course, it means about 10% higher fares to cover the extra gass, but it's
worth every penny!

Now if I could just get that kind of thrust out'a my S6 :-)
