Good, but the computer is very picky. It should look like this:

    [b]Gibson, Gibson SG[/b] also; [b] My Predator and Me. [/b]

Do you see the subtle differences? That gives you this:

    Gibson, Gibson SG also; My Predator and Me.

This one was very close:

But you used a "back slash" ( \ ) with the second "b" instead of a "forward slash" ( / ).

Keep practicing. Learning new things is always good for our brains!! But also check your result after you post. If it doesn't look like what you expected, go back and edit it as needed. I think the forum is set up to allow edits to your post for up to 4 hours. So there's lots of time to play!!

"Mentally Flying" is such an appropriate tile for Me to put up my thoughts on. For as of late, Mrental Flying is the only Flying that I can do. Yes this broken down Predator Pilot does sit around and Fantasize about having some Kicktail Flights Flying My Predator 158. I would love to finally after over twenty Years to get high. I consider High to be when one is over 20.000 feet. I have only Been 14,850 MSL. My friend KM got to 24,000 Feet up in Colorado. But I am not sure if KM did it legally or not? I think that most likely down in the Owens Valley. Where I would hopefully have good conditions; Nice strong T"hermals coupled wit a good Tailwind. I believe that I could very well might be able to traverse 1oo Miles in less than three Hours.

I always did enjoy How welI could climb flying My Predator. In Fact John Told Me that I would be blown-Away by how well I will be able to Climb while thermalling My Predator. I am so ready to be Blown-Away.

For you Chris
"If we choose to fly, nothing will stop us"
"Those of us who fly have our debts to pay"
Richard Bach



I was born in 1946, into an American Airlines family, and was mentally flying from that moment on.
Some times I think that if I hadn't been drafted into the Marine Corps in 1965, and sent off to Vietnam, I would have gone on to be a commercial pilot like my dad, and brother and sister.
It is ironic that Richard Bach wrote his first book, "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" about the same time (1970) that I watched David Cronk run down the sand hills of Torrance Beach and "fly like a bird".

Chris, you will fly again. It will start at a site like Dockweiler, and no one knows where it will end.

Keep your spirits high, and your body will follow.   :thumbup:
