	In the interest of full disclosure, I would like to point out that I am not a pilot or a mechanic – I am a historian. Any knowledge I have of practical aeronautics and aircraft maintenance comes from spending time around, and asking questions of, others who are professional practitioners of those arts.

			=== Philosophy ===
			There are some portions of this website to which one or another person might object. To avoid any potential misunderstandings, I feel it may be informative to lay out some of my personal philosophies.

			First, my goal is to be ''correct'', not ''right''. It does not matter to me, at the end of the day, whether or not I "win" an argument – simply that the most accurate description of the facts is achieved. So, if I push back against some point of an argument, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectic it is only to more closely arrive at the truth of the matter].

			Second, I subscribe to the maxim that "the world is not black and white". However, what often is forgotten is that there are two unwritten corollaries. First, the world is not fifty percent black and fifty percent white. Second, the world is not all the same shade of gray. In other words, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_paradox there are no such things as absolutes].

			Lastly, if you have any comments, suggestions or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out! I enjoy the feedback and [http://www.xkcd.com/1053 there's always a good chance of learning something new]!
