helicopters, gliders and aircraft of|®

two or more engines, have been averaging close to 2000 per- month, since that time, This represents between $5 million and $6 million| per month paid to the personal air-| craft manufacturers, { An interesting map made up by Goodyear offers a graphic picture

But it hasn't stopped thinking about 4 g~ iting dolled "up - differently.
