For those without calculators handy, the average new plane sold in 1985 YTD cost over $745,000, up from $626,000 in the same period in 1984. The average plane sold in March 1985 cost over $1 million. -- Doug Pardee -- Terak Corp. -- !{ihnp4,seismo,decvax}!noao!terak!doug ^^^^^--- soon to be CalComp
