    I was thinking, we need to fine tune our cultural identity a little, so some questions to ponder on:

    1. What's our national dish?
    2. Our national drink?
    3. How many bank holidays do we get?
    4. We need a....FLAG!

    I agree with all of the above except...that in my capacity as First citizen/dictator i will be doing paperwork

    So my first edit is to declare Pharmman17 our very fisrt MOIRARAPP (Minister Of Internal Revenue And Record And Paper Pushing)

    and in that capacity he will take onver all the paper work leaving me with the time to do the flying

    Besides, the reason why they called Navy Aviators is that a PILOT is someone who can fly like a GOD which is clearly not the case in the Navy...Navy is for sailors...not Pilots.

    I also like the Idea of the B52s al tho with a short runway I will have to use a trick from long ago, to boost the "push" of those turbines.
    First you Taxy to runway and get into Take off heading. Full Brakes. 50% power on engines for 5 minutes to raise engine Heat, then you go 100% Engines and inject water into turbines.(due to the temp. the water instantly turns to steam, increasing the thrust by at least 25%) then you release brakes and let rippppp...

    Now on the matter of VIET. I have a UnDiplomatic down the road guy that i would like you to pay a visit to. Hes in need of some "diplomacy" nothing to serious...just a few kind "italian words" like "te amazzo" just to get the point across...
    Now when you finish that maybe you could see your way into paying a visit to my ex mother in law, she wants to disapear...al tho she does not know this at this point in time im quiet sure nevertheless that it is her hidden wish.

    This is my idea for a flag, I suggest the name change since Eldorado was the mythical place where dreams come true.

    Deep Blue, 10000 feet of runway should be plenty for a B52 to land on, and we gots a pilot for one of them anyway.

    And, I am sorry, First Citizen, but the affairs of state would still prevent you flying time. It is not just the paper pushing, but you would be responsible for presiding over the Senate, (which of course meets in a whopping big bar room) dealing with forign VIP's, signing all proclaimations of the senate into law, declaring national holidays, taste testing our national brand of alcoholic beverages (I can get my uncle roosevelt's distillation recipe for blue ridge sipping whisky, blue ridge rum, and we can find something to do with the fermented juice of pinapples and banananas,) and of course, and finally dealing with all the international pressure due to our embassies being pubs and bars.

    As for a national dish, being a gourmet cook, I would think a cajun blackened shark steak served with a side of 15 alarm chili and rice would be best suited for our spicy country.

    As for the national drink, may I suggest a west texas funeral, only instead of the tequila, we substitute 150proof rum instead. This would mean the recipe is four shots of bourbon, four shots of rum, four shots of vodka, with a beer chaser.

    As for bank holidays, how about one declared for every 15th day the entire government is hung over from an all night senate session, until we hit 2 a month, plus christmas, new years, easter, pentacost, and the birthdays of Geronimo, Cochise, Crazy Horse, Chief Junaluska, and Samual Colt.

    Finally, I think we should get Jimmy Buffet to write the national anthem.

    No problem on the fix the flag, but, if you think, for one second, I am going to climb into the backseat of anything capable of flight with a jet jocky at the controls, you are insane. (I aint as dumb as you think i look)

    As for the spelling issue, at 3 am, with 3 dogs terrified of thunderstorms trying to climb into my lap, it is understandable.

    The three dogs are, Shadow (Pitbull/black lab), Lil Red (Cocker/chow/red heeler/dumbmation) and lucky, hyper little white critter with brown spots and a turned up tail like a terrier. AND NONE OF THEM LIKE WEST TEXAS THUNDERSTORMS.

    I cant understand why, I mean, granted I have been on the receiving end of quieter artillery barrages.
