Lovely kite, isn't it? That one actually lives here, in California. It's one
of the planes featured in the "Ghosts 2001" Calendar! It had belonged to an
air marshal who used it as his private hack-and so it was painted in his
colours.

As much as I love Carly Simon-I'd vote for Purdey! Though I could see how
people could confuse that with the shot guns. (Funny, I was driving around
the other day, and the thought did go through my mind if they named the
character for the shot gun...strange what one thinks of driving on the
freeway at 10 at night!)
