(Sorry, couldn't find anything on her in any other language. Well, OK, there'd probably be something in Romanian...)

Post #282,256 by CRConrad 4/18/07 3:58:24 AM Reply	Yep, sure is Corrigan. Better pics Sorry, but I can't see the man at all in yours. Here are a couple of better ones (IMO), where you see both the plane and the man: From the [link\|http://www.aeroplaneart.com.au/JSJ_Oldies.htm\|Aeroplane Art Company] (third from top, click the pic to enlarge it), and from the [link\|http://www.museumofflight.org/Collection/Aircraft.asp?RecordKey=BF681E61-5EB4-4BAF-9379-725477CB4838\|Museum of Flight] (again, click pic to enlarge). Fun bit o'trivia: the [link\|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Corrigan\|Wikipedia article on Douglas "Wrong Way" Corrigan] strongly implies that his "navigation mistake" was not only intentional, but laboriously planned and prepared.

But I'm still gonna say King Lear. ----------------------------------------- You can fire an at will employee for good cause or no cause, but not bad cause.
