Make light of it all you want, but it's these moron pilots who are going to
put an end to YOUR pastime. [...] AOPA or the like should help make examples of these pilots... Standard tactic of dictatorial control - get the subjects to do the dirty work. Instead of standing up against idiot rules (like the zillion cubic mile zone where only proven building-buster airplanes can fly, we are ready to execute our own kind for not slavishly obeying these rules. Not that I'm advocating violation of the law, but remember how it worked in grade school - if =anybody= chews gum, =everybody= has to scrub the floors. The result is that the =kids= themselves beat up anybody who chews gum. Is this the kind of world we support?

All of this because the blowhards is Washington have abrogated their responsibilities and now the peons must pay. |

JohnH,
but it's these moron pilots who are going to put an end to YOUR pastime. I fully agree. Pilots are not important, the majority of voters is. And they LIKE it if the government generates a feeling of pseudo-safety by these shows of force. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Heard on Fox that aircraft was taken "without permission".
Which is apparently newspeak for the actual "We didn't have this flight listed on our books" from the club owners. Although apparently everyone in the club knew these guys were flying to an airshow down South. Sure wish there was an easy way to sue newspeople for outright fabrications. |

oups.com... Heard on Fox that aircraft was taken "without permission". Which is apparently newspeak for the actual "We didn't have this flight listed on our books" from the club owners. Although apparently everyone in the club knew these guys were flying to an airshow down South. Did you see a news report that actually stated that the plane was taken without permission? The NYT merely reported--accurately--that Terry Gainer, the Capitol police chief, *claimed* that "preliminary information indicated that the men had taken the plane without permission". Sure wish there was an easy way to sue newspeople for outright fabrications. I sometimes have the same wish regarding newsgroup contributors. --Gary |

Everyone wants the scoop I guess and jumps at any news at all. |
