Interesting Stats Tom.  Thanks.

Tom:

    Good statistics.  That's interesting about the Airstreams, but I'll bet the percentage of Blue Birds is higher. 8)  I'll see if I can find any information on that.

The stats for the Birds should be very interesting. I suspect you're right that they'll have a higher percentage still on the road than Airstream.

 

[Ron]

I think the total number of Bluebird MH/s built is just a fraction of the number of Airstreams built.  So that needs to be taken into consideration.

That's why statistics can lie Ron  ;D

Or be manipulated to reflect something that isn't. ;D
