Bloomberg was impressive. Calm and surprisingly knowledgable about
aviation,

Is he a pilot?

I don't think so, but I'd imagine he is quite familiar with general aviation.

Just for kicks, imagine Daley if this had happened in Chicago.

OMG that is exactly what I was telling my wife this morning.

That would have been an embarrassment to Chicago. Daley almost looks like he
is TRYING to be inarticulate. And of course his knowledge of aviation is so
small as to be negative knowledge. In this area he is a veritable black
hole.

I too thought Bloomberg was very impressive. I did hear on the CNN broadcast
that he is a pilot, but half of what they said yesterday was probably wrong.

I just visited the FAA's airmen database and was suitably impressed. He's a
private pilot with ASMEL, rotorcraft, and instrument ratings.

There's only one Michael Bloomberg in New York state listed and the middle name
is the same as the mayor's.

There's only one Michael Bloomberg in New York state listed and the middle name
is the same as the mayor's.

He is, and he got a lot of crap in the local papers a couple of years
ago for taking the controls of an NYPD Helicopter and flying around the
harbour.
