Hi Steve,
Thanks for the re-assuring comments. My Leica's and self feel better about
security and the flight itself.

In all my years of flying peacetime and war, with a few mishaps along the
way, I've never had any trepidation on leaving the ground in any kind of
plane, fixed wing or helicopters. But I'm sure like many others, there is
this damn little gnawing in the back of my mind about my first flight since
9/11.

And damn it, I wish it would just go away and leave me as innocent as I was
before.

But the many LUG flight reports since have been encouraging that things are
not as bad as one is led to believe in the panic driven media! So Steve,
Tina and others thanks for the positive notes of boarding your first flights
again.
