Maybe Malta is planning to sell these jets on E-Bay for some much needed foreign currancy.

Thanks Rico, I suspected that. My questions were simply rhetorical. I almost never read his/her posts but your “thank you” to him/her gave me the giggles and I just HAD to read the comment he/she made. Jezus.

Queenie, Pat:
Come on. patriot10101 is a nut ball. None of his posts have any connection to any of the threads he posts to. He has a standard rant which he posts over and over and over…

patriot10101 - two questions. Pardon my asking but,
What does your comment have to do with the two Libyan fighter pilots? I fail to see a connection.
What happened to JUSTICE in 1832? I am here to learn.
Thank you for your time.
