       kinda like the old Spanish land grants. Bundy was paying the

       There is no such thing as preexisting conditions in leasing land
       from the Government.  When he stopped paying the lease fees to
       the legal owner, he forfeited any rights that he might have had
       contractually.
       I don't like the concentration of power in the Federal
       Government.  But the way to end it, other than through the
       courts, is through the vote.

       This guy knows he does not have a leg to stand on legally. He
       did this to try and get the state to step up and take back the
       land.
       It is probably the only shot his family has of keeping the ranch
       viable after he passes.  Or to keep it at all because more then
       likely the Feds already have a lien on the property.
       These people are not complete idiots.  I am sure they have
       talked to lawyers, gone over their options and know that the
       Feds have them painted into a corner.  Sometimes when you have
       no options left you take a bold one and hope for the best.

       My friend who flew one of these said it fit you like a glove.
       
       But he liked the P-47 razorback more because he felt safer.
       
       And could pull out of a dive faster with the extra sheetmetal
       over the bubble top versions of the P-47 & P-51.

       The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was an American fighter
       aircraft
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighter_aircraft
       that saw service
       primarily in World War II
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II
       and the Korean War
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War.
       Demand for the aircraft
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft
       soon overwhelmed Vought
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vought's
       manufacturing capability,
       resulting in production by Goodyear and Brewster: Goodyear
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodyear_Tire_and_Rubber_Company-built<br
       />Corsairs were designated FG and Brewster
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster_Aeronautical_Corporation-built<br
       />aircraft F3A.
       
       From the first prototype delivery to the U.S. Navy in 1940, to
       final delivery in 1953 to the French, 12,571 F4U Corsairs were
       manufactured by Vought, in 16 separate models,
       
       in the longest production run of any piston-engined fighter in
       U.S. history (1942–53).
       
       The Corsair was designed as a carrier-based aircraft
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-based_aircraft.
       However its
       difficult carrier landing performance rendered the Corsair
       unsuitable for Navy use until the carrier landing issues were
       overcome when used by the British Fleet Air Arm
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleet_Air_Arm.
       
       
       The Corsair thus came to and retained prominence in its area of
       greatest deployment, land based use by the U.S. Marines
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Marines.
       
       The role of the dominant U.S. carrier based fighter in the
       second part of the war was thus filled by the Grumman F6F
       Hellcat
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_F6F_Hellcat.
       
       
       The Corsair served to a lesser degree in the U.S. Navy. As well
       as the U.S. and British use the Corsair was also used by the
       Royal New Zealand Air Force
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_New_Zealand_Air_Force,
       the
       French Navy
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Navy
       Aéronavale
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_navale
       and other, smaller,
       air forces until the 1960s.
       
       Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable
       American fighter of World War II, and the U.S. Navy counted an
       11:1 kill ratio with the F4U Corsair.
       
       After the carrier landing issues had been tackled it quickly
       became the most capable carrier-based fighter-bomber
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighter-bomber
       of World War II.
       
       The Corsair served almost exclusively as a fighter-bomber
       throughout the Korean War and during the French colonial wars in
       Indochina
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Indochina_War
       and Algeria

       Yeah, too bad no one was able to persuade Adams and Jefferson
       and Washington and those other wingnuts of that back in the
       1770's.
