my last word on winglets

Turns out Google wasn't telling me the whole story.  The Google article said that 737s were the only planes to have winglets but a friend who flew his own Cessna sent me an article about adding winglets to or buying a Cessna with winglets. Evidently these nifty extensions (not to be confused with hair extensions) help a plane fly higher, faster and with less fuel consumption. It sounds like an altogether excellent invention. I shall rest easier knowing that at least one of the planes I'll be flying on will have this equipment.
