Hi Paul,

 PR>>> Heard about the one that did a "belly landing" in the
 PR>>> hanger when somebody flipped the gear-up switch?

 MvV>> Hmmm, I wouldn't call that a bug. It is operator error. [..]

 MvV>> There is a difference between a bug and not being idiot proof.

 PR> IF (gear-up-switch = on AND weight-on-gear = 0)
 PR>         THEN CALL raise-gear;

I can see some merits for such a feature (and some drawbacks). But that is
what it is: a feature.

Absence of a feature does not equate to a bug.

Cheers, Michiel
