The USA is suppose to hit 300 million in October.

Don't they educate folks in the UK anymore? :-)

How many pilots have been forced to lay face down on the ground and
submit to law enforcement's manacles solely as a result of flying
within 38 miles of our nation's capital?


Beats me, but that wasn't the claim.


But that's what's occurring as a result of the overreacting by the
government and the fear of our fellow Americans.

Happy Fourth indeed. :-(

I think I like you.

Do the rules differ in any real way, or are they just goofy little
regulatory differences that have no immediate impact on most real
flights. (For example, if Belgium's VFR cloud restrictions are
different than France's, it's just a "gotcha" on a test, rather than
anything "real".)

Jay, this =would be= something real. The point of VFR cloud
restrictions is to give IFR traffic a chance to see you when they pop
out, and you them. If you are where they don't expect you, this is as
real as coming straight in NORDO to an uncontrolled field - a pet peeve
of yours.

Right, poor choice of words on my part.

I guess I mean to say "flight critical" -- not "real"...

Yep, that's what happens in the liberal nanny-state. Nothing is
anyone's fault and we must all be taken care of by the government. What
a "new deal" this has turned out to be...

Jay, I can give you "the little french girl's" email address.
She rented a plane and instructor for a couple hours last year, flying
around the area of France she grew up in. She could add to what others
have posted.

I hope those who were abused by the misguided LEOs were justly
compensated, and those who committed such a repugnant act were
appropriately punished.

Is there an easy way to find out?

Well, what is "flight critical"? The laws of physics don't change.
Pattern entries are different (at least in Canada), is this flight critical?

Differences (for example) in runway markings and cloud clearances from
country to country are not critical to the successful conclusion of the
flight.

Differences in airspace restrictions and fee structures *are* critical
to my not being arrested, or worse. They are therefore flight
critical, and I want to know what they are at this stage.

If Larry writes back:

"Right. The truly superior don't need to act superior; their superiority is
tacitly apparent. It is those who feel inferior who need to constantly
assert their pseudo superiority."

"If it's not too presumptuous, I would suspect that intelligence matching or
exceeding yours, the ability to command an income adequate to support a
family, and the desire for children might also be veiled longings buried
beneath the conscious."
