I agree wholeheartedly. Since the first time I used rn, I have missed an
aeronautical equivalent of sci.space (and know sci.military).  Two years
back I suggested renaming sci.space to sci.aerospace, since a lot of non-
space related aeronautical discussion took place in that group.  I am all
for sci.aeronautics.
