I should have known that Herr Beckert would only drink a German brew! The other half of his family is Irish, I believe. Wonder if he takes a little Irish whiskey with his coffee in the mornings?

Anita, you would have to get me soooo drunk to get me on a plane that the crew would throw me back off immediately! My flying days are over; this old head cannot take the pressure of take-offs and landings any more, plus those planes seem to fall out of the sky a lot more than they did thirty years ago. With my luck, my seat would be next to Al-Undervar Bomber.
