Bullying desguised (badly) as precaution

Not that I agree but I'd bet they would use an interstate commerce argument if they had to defend it in court. They use it for just about everything else. Yup. That's not a valid argument. There are really very few federal laws currently in place that would have stood up to the Supreme Court for the first 100 years we were a nation. The US Constitution is a little over 4600 words long. I wonder how many words the average law passed by congress today has in it? |

Bullying desguised (badly) as precaution (long reply to Jay H.)
Skylune opined:
I'll think about the C-150 thing. That's the little plane I did some training in about 15 years back (or was it a 152, i don't recall). I'm going on 49: is that to late to pick up where I left off? I think not, especially since I did training and can probably progress to the stall stuff pretty fast. Anyway, what's to lose? Absolutely nothing. Mary and I have become the "Pied Pipers" of GA in our neck of the river, and we know many people WAY older than 48 who are just starting flight lessons. Personally, I'd learn in a Cherokee myself, but that's a personal preference. The 150/152 is just too danged small for a 6' guy (me) and an instructor, IMHO. Whichever way you go, you'll never regret it. Big Snip Anyway, the expansion project is on hold way due to environmental issues (mainly water, as the airport unfortunately sits directly atop the acquifer for the entire area). All we want is the airport to make a better effort to enforce its existing noise abatement procedures, which are routinely ignored by a small minority of fliers. Ah, I understand now. Isn't it a shame when a few inconsiderate folks ruin a good thing? Of course, I'm not there, and I don't know what happened, but (judging by your response) it must've been pretty bad. Did you try contacting the offending pilot(s)? (Nicely of course.) If you spotted an "N" number, you can easily obtain the pilot's name and address off the internet. Go to www.Landings.com and look at their database section to see what I mean. You might have better luck contacting the pilot to see if he will voluntarily divert his usual flight path a bit, just to avoid over-flying your place. A good example of this working in our area is our local hospitals. With three medical centers in town, we've got a LOT of very ill people nearby -- and the airport is less than a mile south of ALL three of them. Needless to say, we local pilots know the location of those hospitals, and avoid flying over them as best we can. There's nothing worse than hearing annoyingly loud noises when you're really sick, so we do our best to keep away. (Transient pilots, of course, couldn't know this, so occasionally I'll hear/see one go over with the prop pitch and throttle full-forward, and I just cringe...) Anyway, it's just a thought. It might be more effective than beating up all GA pilots on the internet, day after day? :-) As for dealing with airport authorities and the FAA, I can sympathize. Hell, dealing with those bureaucracies sucks as an airport SUPPORTER -- I can't *imagine* how bad it must be as an airport opponent. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

You can quest all you want. When GA wants to lure people toward itself, it gives rides or holds airshows Until your trolling can equal the thrill of a plane ride or an aerobatic demonstration, you might as well **** in the ocean. But keep trying. It's entertaining for us too. -c |
