Comment on From Piper Cub to Piper Jet by DS Aviation Services

as a general rule, in your price range, there isn’t any. sure people will say if you shop around, if you buy an old one, if you know how to haggle etc. but thats all BS. if its old, it is likely to present problems like airframe stress, engine problems, transponder upgrade etc. in the near future, thus costing you way more than 35k. (and i’ll bet its missing some maintenance logs) if its okay new, but they’re selling it cheap, maybe its gone through accidents, or is not legal or some other serious problem. (again, ask for all the documentation) if its new, well, you won’t find one for 35k, or you will but it will be an old design, flawed or low performance, unpopular and impossible to find parts for. so sorry to burst your bubble mate, best keep saving up and come back on YA in a few years asking this : what is an inexpensive airplane to buy? Can I get one for 250k to 1 million? (gotta factor in inflation and fuel costs or that new high tech hybrid engine….)

I love it! I think the boy’s name should be Furn. Forn makes me think ‘Forgotten’ and Firn makes me think ‘Firm’. But maybe that’s what your looking for… Maybe the title could be ‘Forbidden’ or ‘Banished’ or ‘Lies’ or ‘The Uncovered Truth’ or ‘Lost Girl’ or ‘Home no More’ or ‘Black Luck’ or ‘Untouchable’ or ‘The Fate of Hesta’ or ‘Uncovered Hesta’ or ‘Hiding Hesta’, etc. Some of those sound cheesy even to me, but I typed what came into my mind.

Sounds more like Republicanism than Environmentalism to me. Stick to the right (wing), except to pass.

Until i did some research i didn’t even know humpback whales could even jump out of the water, and i still can’t imagine something of that size jumping. I am guessing they make a pretty big splash when they land, but im not sure anyone can actually measure the volume of water they ‘splash’.

Costa Rica has great food, often live music, and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Flights are pretty reasonable and you can treat yourself to a stay in an all inclusive resort.

There are loads and loads of animals nearing extinction or endangered. “With nearly a quarter of all mammal species and a third of amphibians threatened with extinction” this was from the World Wildlife Fund.

You should go to the north pole to pet a polar bear. I hear they are incredibly friendly creatures.

It is believed they number about 30,000-40,000 at present, or about 30-35% of the original population. Here’s the fake research site the Japanese set up: http://www.icrwhale.org/eng-index.htm This should specify how many they plan to kill.
