ADIZ Violation Explained in AOPA Magazine

Now..now..Jay, Being 70 years old doesn't equate to being a
"dumb****".

Bob Moore 70+

Shoot, Bob, I used to think being 40+ meant "dumb ****"... Funny how
that changes with the perspective of 47 years...

:-)

It's not really an age thing, Bob, it's a retirement thing, and a
currency thing. We've got lots of older guys at our airport who "fly
the bench" WAY more than they actually fly. Dunno if it's a matter of
money, or boredom with flying, or what, but it's just a fact -- and
these guys just get rusty.

This Sheaffer fellow seems an awful lot like some of those guys --
except that he hopped in a 150 and blasted off into the most heavily
defended airspace in the world, almost completely unprepared.

How 'bout we change "heavily defended" to "heavily regulated"?

I'm not sure our defenses are any more elaborate here than, say, Nellis or
Tonopah.

"Comedy of errors". hmph

It might have been if it had only affected the two of them. Instead we had
a near-panic in the downtown DC area and thousands of pilots flagged as
"untrustworthy" simply by association.
