'Clark County Aviation Director Randy Walker said he thinks experimental
airplanes should be restricted to airports that are located in less densely
populated areas. "I think the regulatory process on airport systems need to
be revisited in the coming weeks. I am going to ask to meet with the members
of our congressional delegation to see if something can be done," he said at
a news conference. "I do not believe under our circumstances that
experimental and high-risk aircraft operations, such as training and solo
flights, belong in an urban airport," he said.'

Seems pretty short-sighted for an Aviation Director. I also think it's naive
for him to think that anything will be done "in the coming weeks".



Other dangerous flight this yahoo wants banned from urban areas,
"training and solo flights."

Do you think he would agree to banning beginners from public streets?

If you consider accident statistics among 16 and 17 year olds, banning them
from the city limits would be MUCH more justifiable than banning training,
solo and experimental flights from the areas proposed.
