You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Cool plane. Have you ever seen the all red one?
It's up to you how much money you want to spend and how many new words you want to create "correcting" something.

Spates red devil. Theres comments about it being painted to resemble the red barons Dr.1. But ive also heard it came that way from the factory because the factory that made them used a red primer.

Great work Owl. Not going with the splinter scheme?
