Default ADIZ Violation Explained in AOPA Magazine

It isn't a plebiscite so it matters not how many comments are received.
By statute, they are looking for new or different ideas.

9/11 is a far cry from saying that the D.C. ADIZ is "no big deal".
Having
flown inside that ADIZ, I know it's a VERY big deal, and it's a shame
that
we have such an abomination in our country.

But it's there. We can fight it, we can complain about it, but -- in
the
end -- we must deal with it.


The thing that upsets me is that, even though almost 20,000 people
have
submitted comments to the FAA on the NPR for making the ADIZ
permanent,
there are something like 400,000 AOPA members. Where the hell are the
other 380,000 AOPA members/pilots? Why aren't they submiting
comments? The unfortunate thruth is that the aviation community is
*far*
from the close knit community that some people like to pretend it is.
