Bullying disguised (badly) as precaution (long reply to Jay
The guy went to jail for 15 days for not paying his fine...two of them. I
don't think they had him working on a chain gang or anything. "Drinking some water here BOSS!" The term imprisonment makes it seem like he was sent to a hard core penal colony, maybe jailed is a better word? I wonder if while he was in jail if he went around to all the other jail cells and bugged the ever living crap out of all the inmates?

The message of mine that you're responding to (the one that's partially quoted above) already cited a particular case in which the imprisonment (of a Jehovah's Witness, who had religious objections to the motto) occurred. --Gary |

I'm also very curious as to why GA planes aren't named. Maybe some are,
but I haven't seen 'em. If I can get my ticket and then buy a plane, damn it, I'm gonna paint a name on it! I met a fellow who flew a Mooney named "Blue Bird". He had it painted on the side. Do a Google search on "Final Flight" and you can read about this grand old gentleman. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

However, it used to be true that the plates were manufactured in the state prison.

Bullying desguised (badly) as precaution
My wife and I were once harassed by two Chicago Police officers when we approached the Meigs Field terminal several years ago... this was in the late 1990s, after the police had "confiscated" the second floor of the terminal to use as office space. It was the "station" for lakefront police patrols. We were asked about our business at the airport, to which we responded that we were pilots who had never been to Meigs and wanted to look inside the terminal. At that point, we were promptly told to leave the property because the airport "isn't open to the public." We came back later, when we encountered no police and were able to enter the terminal and observation deck. We all know how that book eventually ended. Yeah, rock and roll! And the terminal itself houses injured birds. JG |

Yep. Now it's the city that's bailing out everybody else.
