Presidential TFR @ Kill Devil Hills

pilot would never do that to fellow pilots. So what in hell was he doing
in
the National Guard? Don't answer that I really don't want to know.

Easy to answer that one,,,, he was trying to avoid the likelihood (at the
time) going into combat with the draft by joining the Guard... An 'artful
dodger' :-)

Good Flights!

"I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things."

this miracle that lies in our hands and beneath our feet"

What would happen if 500 GA birds showed up towing banners saying "Go
home Mr presiden, we want to fly"?

Do you think they have enough F-16's and weapons to shoot down them
all and if that happened what would those idiots (spelled Liberals) do
to him? He would be smoke politically after they got through in the
liberal press.

I'll probably be put on a watch list for writing things like this but
sometime you have to call a dumb thing dumb.

I voted for him and will again to get that on the recording.

Has anyone tickled the NYT about this shutting down the celebration
by the way?

It does however tell me that there's no way he was ever a pilot. Because a
pilot would never do that to fellow pilots. So what in hell was he doing in

He flew F-102 supersonic jet interceptors, on active duty in the USAF
and later in the Texas Air Guard.

What did you fly when you were in the military?

Perhaps not, but the FAA probably has enough bureaucrats to pull the
certificates on 500 pilots.

I have just informed a German TV program about the situation in Kitty Hawk.
Hopefully they will mention it in the evening news.
It's sad to shut down airspace for a "flying" party.

He was flying F-102s.

Ok.. at the risk of interrupting the partisanship here...

What makes you think that if the next prez is a Democrat that the SS..
er Secret Service will not still insist on a 60 mile diameter bubble?

Take the announcement (the TFR) then get Phil Boyer's comments and

This is nothing more than the same stunt as landing the jet on
the carrier and he walks out wearing a flight suit.

This is even better if you're a registered Republican. Send the
letter to your local Republican committee HQ with a complaint.

He uses the media. You use the media. There are more of us to
make the case to the media.

Even better -- find out who in the local media are pilots. Enlist
them.

Let's not forget the insurance policy... he went AWOL for a year and a
half.

Imagine if something DID happen; can you imagine how CNN, ABC, etc., would
handle it?

Probably something about Bush being "too dumb to appreciate proper security
measures"...
