Now Brauninininini, nobody ever said it was "easy" - much less "too" easy - Licky has a tough row to hoe writing the book
He could use some help, to be sure - but it would help him immensely to develop some humility to accompany his writing skills, or lack thereof - he seemed to be a reasonable fella at first, as he fished for info to glean from the players of the day - something changed him along the way - he became frustrated and embittered, and then paranoid, perhaps because of the sheer volume of his data, or perhaps because of the lack of same - at this point, nine years out, it don’t matter no more - Licky lost his mojo, if indeed he ever had it - now he's just another angry loser and still just a poser - if he could finish the book he would have done so by now - his absence on this thread just underscores my point, he's moved on to something else or nothing, but he's given up and can't admit it to us - but I'm sure he'd agree with me on this: you are dead wrong if you think it's too easy - writing a book is hard as hell - but he's dragged it out too long

Sidmo the delusional narcissistic nutcase.
Was back in the day in the present and will continue in the future.
He keeps on proving it in his daily seek for attention and his ridiculous rants.
Like he's talking to himself looking in the mirror and there's these imaginary people in his mirror.
We've all seen this from people like him so many times ....... WOW !!!!!

Sidmo, if we were to take a poll it would be incredibly disproportionate towards you being delusional. Give it a rest! Or find something else to vent about.

All I want out of this is a book to read. Doesn't matter if I read it next month or next decade. There will always be jealous opposition Licky. Ignore it and tell us a tale

Since licky seems to have decided to go a different direction with his book why not write one yourself Sidmo? Tell the story we all really want to hear, about how a bunch of lowlife potheads scored bigtime and the resulting adventures spawned by the goldrush. I'd rather read that then details about the plane ..... snooze

THANX SYNCH - i'd love to tell a tale but icky would get all weird and accuse me of piracy and stealing his idea, but you are absotootly right - I told him years ago that the interesting part of the story is sociological and not mechanical/aeronautical - I've been fortunate enough to get in on some good opportunities in my life, but usually there were just a few of us who lucked out - the plane was interesting and unique in that the wealth trickled down to so many deserving souls - even the waiters got more tips, and didn't have to hike a mile to do it - hell, Curry never sold so many tents and gear before, even the suits made out like banditos - but licky dissed me and focused on aeroplane hydraulics and such, topics interesting only to a pilot or airplane mechanic - as I told him, I actually was a pilot and my dad had a plane all through my childhood and yet I still found his obsession tedious at best - if I were to write about it i'd take my own advice that I gave licky, i'd just write in in a novel - you know, change the names to protect the guilty - thanx again, it's nice that someone here gets it

take your poll merced-o, and see who cares - maybe it'll play on foxnews -
NEWSFLASH!!! SIDMO EXPOSED AS DELUSIONAL!!! LARGE PLURALITY OF SUPERTOPO RESPONDENTS AGREE, HE'S EVEN NUTTIER THAN LICKY!!!
So, I should stop busting licky's ass? Why? Because you don’t like it? Or you? Or you? Really? And what about the past makes you believe that all of a sudden I might give a phlying phuck what you think or want? Haven't you accused me of being delusional and worst? And you think a delusional ranting fool would respond to your brand of logic? So what am I - delusional or logical? You can't have it both ways . . . and neither can Licky. I entertain myself here and if you don’t so be it. Who cares what you or I think? Think about it while I drink about it. Wait for Licky's book all you want, stop reading my posts if you must but remember this: Licky don't care what we think, he's drowning in the book project and can't swim. He should never have solicited information from strangers under false pretenses. He's using you, or at least he would if he could . . . but he can't because the dweeb can't write or climb his way out of a wet paper bag with a hole in it.
AND THAT AIN'T DELUSIONAL, BROTHER

THE GREATEST PLANE MYSTERIES
By: Kathryn A. Wolfe
March 10, 2014 07:57 PM EDT
The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is not the first airborne drama that has raised more questions than answers.
It’s not the first big jet in the past five years to go missing with no distress signal. It’s not the first suspected plane crash that has taken days to turn up any signs of wreckage. And if some past aviation puzzles are any guide, the debate about what happened to the Boeing 777 and its 227 passengers may go on for years or decades after investigators find the aircraft and pinpoint a cause.
Facts about Flight 370 have been scarce ever since the plane left Kuala Lumpur on a red-eye flight to Beijing early Saturday.
(Also on POLITICO: Full transportation and infrastructure policy coverage)
The state-of-the-art plane disappeared at cruising altitude — typically, the safest part of the flight — with no distress signals and no emergency beacon to help light rescuers’ way. Three days of searching by planes and ships from multiple countries, including two U.S. Navy destroyers, have found little more than oil slicks and floating debris that turned out to be unrelated to the flight. The probe has also pulled in reports of stolen passports and a mysterious Iranian ticket-buyer, though those may not prove to have anything to do with what happened.
Did the jet disintegrate on its own? Did a bomb blow it up? Was it hijacked? For now, the answers are lost at sea.
Here are some of the biggest past mysteries involving plane crashes and disappearances:
1. Air France Flight 447 (2009)
If the Malaysian jet has crashed, this incident could be most similar to a deadly 2009 accident involving an Air France Airbus A330 that disappeared over the Atlantic en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.
As with the Malaysia Airlines flight, the Air France pilots issued no distress call. Investigators found nothing more about the plane or the 228 people on board for five days, when search-and-rescue teams finally found some of the tail section in the water.
2. TWA Flight 800 (1996)
The Boeing 747 was bound for Europe when it exploded and crashed shortly after taking off from JFK International Airport, killing all 230 people on board. After a four-year investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board found that the probable cause was a fuel tank explosion sparked by faulty wiring.
3. EgyptAir Flight 990 (1999)
The Boeing 767 en route from New York City to Cairo crashed shortly after takeoff, killing all 200 people on board. After a two-year investigation, the NTSB concluded that the relief first officer in the cockpit had deliberately caused the crash.
4. Reps. Hale Boggs and Nick Begich (1972)
Boggs, who at the time was the House majority leader, and Begich boarded a twin-engine Cessna in Anchorage that vanished while on its way to Juneau, Alaska. The plane was never found despite a 39-day search that The Washington Post called “the largest in Alaska history,” involving more than 70 aircraft and 3,600 hours of flying time.
Conspiracy theories abounded — noting that Boggs had been a member of the Warren Commission, or, as The Post put it, speculating that Begich “had been assassinated by Serbians because of his Croatian heritage.”
5. Flying Tiger Line Flight 739 (1962)
A Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation prop plane, chartered by the U.S. military to transport almost 100 Army soldiers from California to Saigon, refueled in Guam and was on its way to the Philippines when it disappeared without a trace and no distress signal. At the time, the disappearance prompted a large air and sea search, with its own share of conspiracy theories.
6. Amelia Earhart (1937)
The most enduring aviation mystery of all time may well be the question of what happened to the Lockheed Electra piloted by Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan, who were never heard from again as they were trying to circumnavigate the globe. Many believe her plane simply ran out of fuel and ditched in the water near Howland Island in the middle of the Pacific, but other conspiracy theories abound, including that she was captured by the Japanese.
7. Glenn Miller (1944)
The bandleader, then a major with the Army Air Force, stepped aboard an RAF Norseman C-64 in England on his way to Paris, where he was to join the rest of his band. But the plane never reached its destination, and at the time was believed to have crashed over the English Channel in foggy weather.
But again, conspiracy theories were rampant.

WTF sid:
Amelia is only #6 on your list (and I'll go ahead and mention that you tried to lay the slapdown on me for bringing her up on this thread). If you're not gonna write a book, at least do some editing.
If you really want to get into mysteries and you've outgrown the Hardy Boys, try:
who put the ram, in the rama lama ding dong?
de-ludes - quay-ludes it's all the same to me.
