Bernhard,

Who says the Mil Industry doesn't need state of the art?

I see pilots and flight crews (almost) everyday.  They don't know me, but I
adopted them the day I started working here.  In my eyes, they are family
and deserve nothing less than cutting edge.  I'd rather my pilots have state
of the art avionics than whomever they fly against.

In everything else you wrote I agree.  Keep the improvements coming IPC!

Hans
