 How
'bout if you come back down to earth with the rest of us and we can all work
together more effectively.  I'm usually not one to dissuade but having seen
what it takes to go up high I just want to dose you up on reality.  I'm about
to cut you off on free high alt consulting anyway ;-)

Thanks for your excellent efforts on this. I will think about it Jeff.

an echo from the past - seems like somebody said  about
two weeks ago  ---

" Good luck, but I doubt you want to really deal
with what it takes to go above about 20K.  Things
start to get really difficult as you go above that, out of
proportion to the advantages, IMHO, for homebuilders."

But, it is nice to periodically review why it is that we
use huge turbine-powered mega million $ machines to
go to 35K.   Somebody else said "We do these things,
not because they are easy, but because they are hard. . . "
and then hired a bunch of *other* people to actually do it.

    :-)    Interesting discussion anyway.

Thanks for the moral support Bill. I am getting a lot of s***
about this from our local altitude expert :-)
