But it's not Stoly's - it's Finlandia. (BTW, the Finnish Air Force also flew Tupolev SB's.) Anyway, the wodka - with fruit juice - is for the girls, when they (are unwary enough to) come over! What The Mens drinks is 12-year-old Single-Malt (lately "Speyside" label - 's f-in' GOOD, too!) on these days when it's who knows (and very soon who the hell cares) how hot. Plus a tall glass of pure, unfluoridated icewater (Group Captain Mandrake)!

Now get on the horn and tell Gates to stop shooting up all the Paki P-3s - out of sentimental regard for the airframes, if for no other reason!

Seriously though, Gus, THANKS for the compliment on my model - glad you liked it, buddy!

Cheers,
