To my Fellow Americans: Happy Independence Day!
Just think, if we hadn't won the war for independence from Great Britain, some 230 years ago, we all wouldn't be speaking Spanish today... :-) Seriously, where else can a man hop in his own airplane, load it up with car gas, and take his family for a 9 day flight around the Great Lakes, without ever once being required to fill out paperwork or bribe some petty government official? Where else can one land at literally thousands of airfields, borrow a car, and head off to see the sights, knowing full-well that the aircraft will still be there when we return? For all its foibles, we Americans still live in the free-est country in history, and let's not ever forget it. Better yet, let's make sure it stays that way! Now go celebrate Independence Day -- by flying! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Certainly have a happy Independence Day but you ask where else can you do these things? I can vouch personally that the UK, and New Zealand offer the same freedoms, and I am quite sure several more countries too!

I suppose nothing, because if things like the FRZ and ADIZ keep up, there will be no piloting. Jose -- The monkey turns the crank and thinks he's making the music. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

Yikes, better learn some law (such as the anti-terrorism implemented in the Carter era) before the next time your medicines run out! Have a happy fourth anyway and good luck with the medical renewal form. |

At one time, back about 1911, the UK and its colonies were
reasonably free places. Today, possession of a pocket knife, a firearm or even a door lock that you won't open for police inspection will land you in the slammer. There is only one USA and one U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
