Because it allows you to fly upside down. Know a little about aviation
history too...

Hmm, YOU'RE calling ME a "grumpy old man?" THAT'S funny. BTW: I'm 38.

Re: modern cars -- has anyone ever noticed how many old domestic cars
are still tooling up & down America's byways vs Europe? Has anyone
ever priced parts for those cars vs new models? Forward progression of
time does not automatically equal "progress." IMHO we've entered age
of the disposable automobile. People get the good out of them, then
crush them to be made into something even uglier (poor designers have
lost all their T squares. Remember when sheet metal actually had lips
and dips stamped into it? Seem to recall even JZD did that at one
point...). Am totally underwhelmed by extensive use of plastic (Sunday
am going to junk yard with fellow from church to find METAL window
cranks to replace his plastic ones. Splines broken off 3 of 4).

Now if you'll excuse me I have to go put finishing touches on my
little silver car for SEDOC. That's right -- ANOTHER 1,000 mile trip
for #5939. Since I don't know what I'm doing, perhaps you'll tell me
where put wrench... 

I just hope Rich Acuti isn't lauging at ME behind MY back...
