Yes, it was not responsive, but I didn't expect you to call me on it. When one asks (feeling silly after doing so), "But you can't get it out, can you?" he answers, "No," and smiles. If I've ever asked him "why are you building airplane that you can't fly," I don't remember what the answer was. This mystery has sort of evolved, you see, in that most of us expected one of the planes (the Cessna) would near completion and some drastic news would come (yes we had thought about him firing it up and drilling his way out.) Instead, it became clear over the decades that he has no intention of finishing any of the planes. (I vaguely recall that he have told us that from the start, but we didn't believe him.)

You know what I mean, don't you, that the question seems almost un-askable? Who wants to hear a "because it's there" answer?
