We were getting a giggle just yesterday about the way dog refuels your
jet on touchdown...even though you're still doing 300 knots!  I can 
just see the ground crew now, running after the jet with the hose in
one hand....

Cessnas make wonderful stealth aircraft when flown against any of the jets.
By the time the jet pilot's seen you, it's too late for him to set up on
you before he blows past.

I've heard rumours that this may be in the future.  Have you noticed on 
the GTX that the rudder moves, the flames change length according to thrust,
and the landing gear fold up and down?  Now if we could only have head-on
collisions.....

Hear hear.  I'm waiting for the graphic chess game that lets you choose
texture and color for the pieces and the board..including crystal...and
a changing viewpoint that you could even attach to chesspieces and get a
'pawn's eye' view of the board.  Hint, hint.
