I plan to spread a rumor that ManBearPig lives on the planet Zed. Al Gore is so ‘Thuper Thuper Therial’ about killing this threat to all mankind, he will probably buy the tickets himself. Lord knows he can afford it with the billions of dollars he has made off this global warming scam.

One of my old housemates was an 'aviation enthusiast'. He propbably went on more flights in one summer than I have my whole life! Just to sit around the airport!! ...and he used to leave the tap running the whole time he was washing up..

Many aircraft enthusiasts don't do much traveling on planes, a lot of them are into military stuff, I have not been on one for many years.we watch and photograph them. Sad, but true.

Slightly off topic, but you might find this interesting.

YouTube - model r/c jet aircraft! Awesome big boy toy!!!

Very impressive. must take a lot of skill to fly them.

hmm, yes I think he was only jetsetting a lot last year because of a new law that has now put restrictions on access on the apron at the ariport or something. He got some lovely piccies though!

I don't think there is an easy answer to reducing non-essential flights without taking away people's rights - except perhaps making local holidays more appealing, but even then I would still love to visit Austrailia just to witness the unique characteristics!

I think with all the modern telecommunication technology we have now, a non-essential flight would be for a bussiness conference or meeting. The type of flight where you return the same day.

I think you are right Mitty, there is no easy answer, not when economies and global companies depend upon us flying & running cars.
Don't feel guilty about taking your trip to Aus' if you get the chance either, which after all will probably be a once in a lifetime trip, not when the politicians and other global warming campaigners are jetting all over the world to hold meetings about cutting down on co2 emissions.

I think Windows are experts on none essential flights. According to their latest Windows 7 adds, a completely pointless flight to some far flung destination in order for someone to test it, is glorified.
Why is there so much contradiction?
