Good! Now tell him to get over to Random Griz Aviation Musings and put a bid in on that Phrog.
Got cleared to return to flight status. Night rehack tomorrow night! COVID sucked. Fatigue was the most prevalent of the symptoms. But it took a good 2 1/2 weeks out of my life.

Arrggh, somebody's got to be the statistical outlier. Glad that was the extent of it!

This is a side point, but what’s with that word lately, “grift”, “grifter”? Never used to hear it. People would just say “scam” or “con”. Now I see “grift” everywhere. Old crime with a new title? Or was I just not paying attention?

That's cute. A couple of grifters, looking to profit off of a 36 year old movie title that the Navy gave the author of the title to article in the first place.
I agree that the wife and son are just looking for a payday, but Paramount has deep pockets and the Maverick movie has made a bunch of money. So, they’ll settle out of court and these two will make bank, as will the lawyer.

I believe it was in common usage in the 20s and 30s. Don't know why the resurgance.
