I've landed at this airport a number of times and I can assure you
that everyone that flys there is flying adjacent to the power plant.
That's why runway 28 has a right hand pattern. If it were a left hand
pattern you would be able to look right down into the cooling towers
while turning crosswind to downwind. This fellow did a lot of things
wrong, but as far as the power plant goes he was the same as any other
pilot flying into PTW.

Well, I didn't see how it was covered on Faux News, but on
CBS (which apparently now stands for Complete Bull Sh*t)
they asked rhetorically why the Cherokee wasn't intercepted
by fighters and shot down.

Yep, that trumps the "NUCLEAR POWER PLANT!!!!" hand waving from Faux. It
will be interesting to see how they top it.

Was, or wasn't he, flying adjacent to a NUCLEAR POWER PLANT? You know...the
worst possible security risk?

Dan, you sound like you're trying to fill in the blanks of your
pre-conceived notions.
