Default Grand Canyon overflight proposal

How so? The national parks are areas where development is restricted,
and people are restricted, and noise is restricted, and lots of things
are restricted, so that those who choose to put out the BTUs to enjoy
nature will have some nature to enjoy. The premise is that those people
should be able to visit without interference from, well, not "anyone
else", but from the hoi polloi of civilization.


Careful. There are not flight restrictions over many...maybe
most...of the national parks. There are VOLUNTARY guidelines on
altitude, etc but nothing stops me from flying at a safe altitude over
you at most national parks.
