Wow, the ratio of crash to fatality is slowing rising, which is good I guess.

FYI, there's no way anyone has not heard their music:

Well, I meant there's no way you could avoid it if you've 1) ever been put on hold, or 2) visited a grocery store.

BNL is one of my favorite groups of all time. Intelligent (even if complex) lyrics, actual melodies, great bass and rhythm, etc.

I must note, however, that he has been flying only since 2005. That's a bit early for flying an amphib 206 in my opinion. Affording an airplane is different than having enough experience to do it properly.

I am very glad Ed survived.

Hi air,
whew... I thought I might be the only bnl fan here...

3 years is pretty meager, but on the other hand with a decent bank acct. he can probably afford to fly a lot more often than the average Joe. (probably almost as much as the average Joecub :lol:) I wouldn't be surprised if he flies something a little more complex and a lot faster as well...I think fighter pilots are made in as much time. I was listening to Harrison Ford and was intrigued by how fast he went from no time to Beaver and the Jet Ranger...

Now if I only had a pile of money...

I've liked their music for a while, my son turned me on to them.

One questions though...How do we get "Ed's Up" in the lower 48? I need more airplane shows for the days I am locked inside and unable to fly due to weather or budget.

Can only watch BRLP so many times in one week before the wife complains about reruns.
