Just idly thinking here after two glasses of wine, but what if
=all= the spam cans in the country formed a line and flew directly
over the white house at 2000 feet with no transponder code and no
clearance, and kept doing it even as we were being shot down? What
do you think the eventual effect of this would be?

How many glasses of wine?


Crikey, imagine what kind of great ideas Jose might come with after a
six-pack!

;-)


The same, but it would involve a group hug afterwards with a proclamation of
love.

I'm not exactly the world's strongest guy but even I could manhandle the
76lb Davy Crockett projectile.


Me too, but for a limited period of time, with each step walking slower and
slower. )

the field didn't kill the soldiers, we can assume that they had adequate
shielding.


Of course they had. Point is that i can't find topics for shielding and
cooling in Lebed's suitace articles. That's why i have so much pessimism.
And remember, pessimist is - an optimist with experience

It weighed 96lbs. That's about the weight of my "portable" Roland A-90


Arghhh! I hate hammer action. If you will ever need something lighter, i
recomend JV-90.

That is a very good link. I've been visiting this site quite often after,
specially after i bought GM-45 radiation detector (computer controlled) few
months ago.

Well. Greetings from Diso system, from an ex. smuggler and a sicko who uses
mining grade lasers to attack other ships. My ASP Explorer is parked for the
past 3-4 years. From time to time i think about turning on that old thrusty
engine. Wish i could find some free time. I had first flight in 1993 (Ross
154 system).

Not a good example. Small planes have been banned from the airspace

over London
for decades.


No they haven't, they aren't even prohibited now. You see light

planes
at London City which is right in the middle of Canary Wharf.


Dammit.
Now the posters will know that there's an airport bang in the middle of
the London Docks ROTFL...

this was not Bin Laden who brought all those restrictions ... it was ...
well, your own govt. .. but: *ssssshhhhhh!!*


Actually, it was half a dozen assh*les who decided to kill thousands of
innocents by using airplanes as missiles.


Neither Bin Laden nor his agents altered the rules about flying or
security. This we did ourselves, with glee. It's an auto-immune
disease our country has.

[{Bin Laden | our government} caused the restrictions...]
Cause -- and effect -- in a democratic country.

If you don't like it, get people to vote against it In the meantime, quit
blaming the people for the actions of the terrorists.


Nobody's blaming "the people" for bringing down the towers. I am
blaming "the people" for bringing down the constitution.

A myopic view of America, and of security in general, not unlike the way
physicians viewed disease before the advent of microbiology.

The errant pilots were enroute to an airshow in NC. At least they
didn't miss the excellent demonstration of the Blackhawk and F16s!


Good one, Jim!

Yes, that's fine terroist logic, but as a nation of laws and law abiding
citizens, but do the pertinant international laws state?

how is this possible? you were in the Mediterrean sea. do you have

airspace
there?


When you have all those guns, you have airspace. Remember the Iranian
airliner that got shot down? (Just so we're being fair and even handed,
remember the B747 the Soviets shot down too when that went off-course).

It'll stop because there will now be extra prohibited and restricted
airspace, to ensure when the next light aircraft gets shot down, it
doesn't rain parts on a populated area.


The nearest non-populated area is in another state I'm afraid.


The TFRs would be strengthened if that happened, I have no doubt.


They ain't temporary.
