These arc the parents who bring their children to the clubs officer and no and sit them Dawn in the bar. Almost every time i go to my local offi cers club to relax i am confronted with parents too cheap to leave their children with a baby Sitter. They brine the kids with them and submit them to things that Are not intended for minors like movies with nudity and obscene language. While i was visiting one club with a live band on a Friday night at about 10 30 . Across the room was a Young officer his wife and an infant strapped across his Chest. 1 could t believe it. 1 Don t fuel we the club patrons should have to give up our movies parties dances or any other benefits of being a paying club member to accommodate a Day care Center environment.

W we All know his is the worst year for flying in aviation history. What makes people turn their Bead to problems that wiled thousands of people this year was in profit keep pm flying we Don t like Down 1 think it s time the air plane manufacturers redesign the Way planes Lake on Jet fuel. In most crashes victims Burn to death. If we could design an aircraft so the Jet fuel could be ejected before Impact we would save a lot of people from being burned alive while strapped to the scat. Example install fuel tanks outside on Bath sides for balance or in inc belly of the aircraft and before Impact the Captain could eject the Jel fuel thus keeping the Blaze away from the crash. Let s put some of that profit Back into safety.
