OBROFF: Pass the Hat
 
ROFF needs transport to the hotest fishing spots, i.e. where ever the
fish start rising, we need to be there NOW!
To this end, I propose that we pass the hat and make a purchase. The
non-US ROFFians may take part in the use, but unfortunately, they
cannot donate to the cause.

By the way, I'll volunteer my services as pilot.

I suggest that we just pile it opn the US taxpayer
Call it a bailout call it a financial crisis - who cares ?
Lets get Frank's shuttle and everyone on this list will receive a free 5 wt
to 8 wt rod of their choice

It will stimulate the sport fishing part of our economy

For those from other countries we will consider it just more foreign aid - a
meaningless blip of a few million

The American public will pay for anything and everything else - so why not
pay for our witty remarks on ROFF

Screw 'em anyway

Write your comnngressman and senator - Thye really care.

Hmmm .... let me know if the navy (any navy ... perhaps not the
Iberian ;-) start flogging off carriers.
I reckon they'd make a stable casting platform and a fair to middling
mother ship for tropical swoffing.
Do you reckon you could drop one them shuttle things on a carrier,
Frank?

Frank is Air Force. They need a 5,000 ft runway to land a plane. You
need a Naval Aviator, the ones with gold wings, not the tin ones the
AF has. Only a Naval Aviator can land an aircraft in less than 50 ft.

Right, Frank?

Nah! Anyone can land a plane in less than 50ft but it might take a Naval
Aviator to survive :-)
