... No, it's him. The same "live ski or die" e-mail address from talkaboutaviation.com No, it's not him. It only looks like him to the naive user. Anyone can create a user with any email address they want on talkaboutaviation.com. But only the true Skylune has user ID "USERID-63612". The deprecating post was posted by the user with user ID "USERID-89264". Pretending to be someone else is against the terms of service for talkabout.com, but frankly the worst they are likely to be able to do to the person pretending to be Skylune is to terminate his account.

![]() Well there was at least one error in the article. The boys did not crash the aricraft. In fact, they executed an off-field dead stick landing and made a good landing. Not a great landing, but maybe the best anyone could have done under those circunstances. Except for the stealing the airplane and running out of fuel parts, that is. -- FF |

Say what you want about Skylune, he offers us valuable insight into the inner workings of GA's most vociferous opposition. Usually these kinds of guys quietly roll hand grenades down the aisle, and then duck back down. Skylune lets it all hang out, and actually engages in (occasionally meaningful) dialog. As such, his participation here is aggravating, but valuable. Well thank you Jay! (And I will switch to Google groups soon.) But I am really not "GA's most vociferous opponent." I'm actually not an opponent at all. I know I came into this group as an antagonist, but I'm not "opposed" to GA like some of the groups out there that want to just shut it down. (That's why I was never interested in joining these groups...) I've always said that I personally like to fly, and therefore I don't want GA to go away. I just want it to be more responsible. That's not the same as saying all GA pilots suck. I think maybe 10% are clowns, or not sufficiently qualified. There should be better ways for GA/surrounding communities to better coexist, but there will always be some that either don't care, break the rules, flount the rules, etc. The noise issues obviously drive some people crazy, and I have been badly inconvenienced and annoyed by GA noise also. The worst is the completely unnecessary buzzing by some, and lack of common courtesy. Aviators have acknowledged this too (the "Fly Friendly" articles by the AOPA for example). I am here because I want to hear what arguments pilots make against the "anti-GA" groups. Where compromise with the community proves impossible, I think there should be mandatory noise restrictions imposed on non-essential GA flight. Take care, and enjoy the longer days and better weather! |

I think there should be mandatory noise restrictions imposed on non-essential GA flight. Why not "where compromise proves impossible, I think there should be mandatory curfews in the community, so that, being indoors, they don't hear the airplanes as much"? You paint GA as the one that should always lose. Let the community banish leaf blowers first, and then we'll talk. ![]() -- Money: what you need when you run out of brains. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

So.... leaf blowers are covered by noise ordinances. To test this, try firing up a leaf blower (or a Harley, or a boom box, or any other ground based noise source at 3 a.m.) in a residential area and see what happens. Then, make an equal or greater amount of noise in a small plane by circling at 1000 feet at max rpm and see what happens. |

They are not sufficiently covered by noise ordinances. They should be banned from the entire planet, and anybody who even contemplates using them should be boiled in oil. That felt good. ![]() Seriously, even during the day, the constant whine and drone of leaf blowers destroys the quality of life far more than the intermittant takeoffs and landings of small piston aircraft. And at 3AM not very many people do pattern work. Jose -- Money: what you need when you run out of brains. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

Ft. Sill, OK 24/7 artillery
What is the difference between a Harley and a Hoover? The location of the dirtbag. [I can say that because the first bike I rode was a Harley and I hope to buy another]. -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome. some support http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm See http://www.fija.org/ more about your rights and duties.
