DCA to reopen to GA

This is true. The "private" planes they're talking about are corporate and
charter aircraft, not your run-o-the-mill GA aircraft.

It's just more silly, unnecessary bull****.

There may be something to that...

The private planes their talking about is corporate aircraft that are
being used as legal bribes for congressional members.

there? Where do I get one? Where do I put him if I have my wife and
baggage with me?

It's just more silly, unnecessary bull****.

So, carry your own gun. Give a new meaning to PIC. ;-)

WASHINGTON - Private planes will be allowed to take off and land at Reagan


Great news!

Sorta -- it's definitely a good first step. But AOPA has pulled the article on
this from their web site (it was there a few hours ago). That article said that
the pilots must have undergone a security check and cleared by the FBI, there
will only be 24 arrivals and departures allowed each day, and there must be an
armed LEO aboard.

"Naked" means you ain't got no clothes on; "nekkid" means you ain't got
no clothes on - and are up to somethin'.

It's going to be a witch to get Ron Wattanja's single seater in there, isn't
it?
