Did Waco or Ruby Ridge "wake the sheep?"
Isn't sex with the 12 year old daughter of your parishioner illegal? Thank you. The moment GA starts to associate itself with the nutcases at Waco and Ruby Ridge is the moment we lose the few shreds of credibility we have left with the general public. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Thanks for being a good little menchen for der fuhrer. Thank you.

Jay, the only nutcases at Waco and Ruby Ridge were the BATF and FBI. Thank you for demonstrating that so many are gullible enough to swallow the statist line.

However, just today, while listening to the Detroit LiveATC.net feed when a severe thunderstorm line moved over the airport (about 12:00 Eastern Time), I overheard the following exchange: "Detroit Approach, Northwest XXX needs to deviate right off the approach for weather. We're about to fly into heavy precipitation." "Negative, Northwest XXX, I need you on that heading. There are numerous aircraft off to your right." "Roger, Northwest XXX." I was surprised to hear the pilot agree to remain on the heading, but perhaps he surmised that the turbulence of level 3-4 weather was safer than turning into a swarm of aircraft? To your point, though, there are numerous strategies for avoiding t-storms and one viable strategy is to cancel IFR and fly under the greater freedom of VFR, especially in very congested airspace. -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Phil Boyer will need to get a new bumper sticker. Instead of "I fly a Cessna 150 , 26 gallons of gas, 90 knots of screaming terror, etc." he'll have to upgrade it to include the other GA planes, like turboprops like the King Air. That guy isn't doing your cause any good. Check out the smirking picture in Letters section of the USA today that appeared about a week ago. Of course, right after his most recent appearance, there has been another intrusion, kids stealing planes, highway landings, etc. What an arrogant jerk. That's who represents you. Skylune is Boyer's ex-wife. That explains the incessant snotty trolling. |

Thank you for demonstrating that so many are gullible enough to swallow the statist line. Do I agree with how the government handled the situations at Waco or Ruby Ridge? Nope. But do I want our battle to keep general aviation free and accessible associated in any way with the causes these folks believed in? Nope. It's a one-way trip to a place none of us wants to take GA, IMHO. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

wrote in message ups.com... .... The real risk to us is at the local level, namely the disappearance of airports and the gradual shrinking of the GA base of services, driving up costs. The recent Kelo decision scares me a lot. I've heard legal experts take both sides, but my gut instinct is that this will encourage municipalities to stage a lot more eminent domain raids on unpopular properties like small airports, http://www.ij.org/private_property/c...6_29_05pr.html -- *** A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. *** - Ariel Durant 1898-1981 -- *** A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. *** - Ariel Durant 1898-1981 |

Extremely weak.
But I am not surprised that a woman had the good sense to rid herself of the smirking fool. |
