I just read that Bush will speak at the Kill Devils Hill bash. Does this
mean that the Wright Flyer won't be able take off?
Nothing else will be flying, how inappropriate.
I mentioned the President's planned visit to my wife, who is not a
flyer (yet; I'll wear her down and one day she'll take a discovery
flight, then a pinch hitter, then... one can hope!)
She offered that the Wright flyer replicas wouldn't be much of a
threat to the President, since they can't really fly in circles and
won't get off the ground more than several tens of feet.
Perhaps after his speech, the President will have the good sense to Go
Away and permit others the rest of the day in flight. Weather
permitting, of course.
If we're IFR at Kill Devil that day, all of this will be moot anyway.

The SS loons will probably STILL think that it is a threat and prohibit
it from flying!
