Are you a member of Chancellor Merkel's Cabinet?

No, Germany still refuses to acknowledge the Scheissprolet Party.

Does your airplane fascination include passenger jets?

For the most part, no.

And if so, which ones?

Only oddball ones like the Fokker 614.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VFW-Fokker_614

And if not, why not?

First of all, they all tend to look the same, a cylindrical fuselage with an engine hanging off of each wing, BORING! Second, most of them are pavement queens. They can't operate out of short unimproved runways the way a DHC-7 can.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHC-7  Last, they just don't have the charachter that a propeller plane has.

+ I love that last one.

I love some passenger jets. Yes, they may be cylindrical and boring and mostly alike, but planes like the old MD-11 or a 747 appeal to me.

As does a 737, actually, for some reason. The Airbus equivalents, OTOH, similar as they are, are infinitely boring.

I loved the old 727. I loved the classic Caravelle. I loved the 707.

Perhaps.   

Pappy is a great name. 

Agreed. I always liked the name "scrapheap", too.

How was your day?

Wow! you sure know how to ask the tough, hardball questions, don't you??          

Ok, I guess.

I can understand the appeal of the tri-jets because they're a bit unusual and just look cool with the engine in the tail. The Caravelle has some very appealing lines, I like the rounded tail. The 747 is iconic and has some interesting lines too. The rest are just cookie-cutter look-alike designs.

What are your personal thoughts on Chihuahuas?

The tri-jets are unusual, yes, but it's not just that. Those planes are cool, simple as that.

I remember loving the 707 as a kid. Seeing one live at the Smithsonian rekindled that love for me. There was something very, very special about that one.

They're an abomination dog breed that never should've been.

No, licking carpet makes her a lesbian.
