DCA to reopen to GA

I don't see how it's such "Great News". With a requirement to have a
law enforcement officer on board, it does nothing for those of us with
small planes. I have to have a cop sitting in my Skyhawk to land
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****.

How hard is it to get deputized? :-)

It's a step in the right direction, plain and simple.

Nothing more, nothing less.

No, I disagree. It is as someone else mentioned, just enough of a step
to shut up the people who actually matter to the gov't. The rest of us,
unfortunately, only get heard through AOPA, and they obviously don't
have enough clout to get us our rightful access to the DC-3 airports...
honestly, I could care less about flying into DCA... the other airports
that have been shutdown are far more GA friendly. At least there is a
way to get in to them, but it requires jumping through way too many
hoops for the occasional transient pilot.

Anybody can get access to the DC-3 airports. You just have to go
through the vetting process. That was opened up a few months ago.
Of course, the process is annoying to get vetted and mildly annoying
(on a busy day when both the Leesburg FSS and Potomac approach have
long call queues0.

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.
