What's not to like. Airplanes and Firefighting.

That was my feeling too. I liked that part of the movie best.

They charged valiantly, and were butchered valiantly. And afterwards men in tall hats and gold watch fobs thumped their chest and said what a brave charge it was.

Your very welcome, Ms Feather. It tugged at me especially since it involved Engineers. I can't imagine $7 per month. Thankfully I get a few more Sheckels than that.
