:-) bugger - I thought they land vertically...??

by the way - when I flew in "black forest gliding site"
in Colorado 1980, it was possible to fly with the glider
on top over the incoming traffic to the mountains and
higher than a certain minimum height stright over the
airport. Is that still possible in the US in times of new
home security or is it now forbidden and are you will
be shot down and then imprisioned under Ashcrofts
creation, the patriot act?

Aye, and that's the rub: they come down to the airport, don't they? And
the airport airspace doesn't go all the way up to 18000 here in the USA,
but only to about 10,000 or so. And the buggers don't drop down into the
top, but slide in from the side. Can you believe it?
