GA headed for regulatory trouble

Exactly correct. The prior poster was misrepresting the statistics.

He must be a troll.

I've taken some comfort in the fact that this latest incident dropped
off the news almost as quickly as it arrived.

After the incursion in May, posters were predicting all sorts of dire
consequences for the next one.... and I predicted:

The more often these occur without anybody seriously hurt, the less likely
there will be a shoot-down because the previous experiences will suggest
"low danger probability". ... and also the more likely that the media

Indeed. The more these happen, the more people in DC will think, "Oh
great, another damn cessna scare," the less photogenic mayhem will
ensue, the less the media will cover it, the less anyone will likely
give a damn.

Personally, I think this might be a great opportunity for a bit of
hard-core pork-barreling to get the gummint to subsidize ADS-B rigs for
everyone. Double it in with a new ATC system and who cares about ten
billion here or there? Might as well make lemons from lemonade...

Ok, thanks for checking though.

Who wants to "stop aviation?" Why would anyone want to do this?

All we want is better regulation of GA, eliminate taxpayer subsidies for
GA airports, upgrade pilot training so that these be a pilot in a month
schools won't exist, change the FARs so that a turboprop cant legally
circle over people's house all day long, expose the FAA corrupt,
ineffective regulation of GA, etc.

Every single day, some GA pilots prove that the industry is running amuck.
I feel badly for the responsible majority of GA pilots, but a small
minority is ruining it for all of you, especially those with calalier
attitudes (protect baby seals - please). And Phil Boyer panders to the
lowest common denominator.


GA is pretty heavily regulated right now, in case you haven't noticed.
I really don't think we need a whole lot more. GA did not cause 9-11
and now that there are 200 times as many TFR's as there were pre-911
you've got to expect a few more occasional violations.

This USED to be more of a free country than it is today, in case you've forgotten.

Well stated Sir. Government's answer (it seems) to all of it's various
problems is to implement more restrictions... create more new laws, etc.
These laws really only have an effect on the law abiding citizens of
the country. Criminals, AKA terroists, do not obey laws and could care
less.

Actually they are probably laughing at how much of the freedoms have
been taken away from American citizens because of their actions. Its a joke.

Oh, of course.... but I get this perverse satisfaction from recalling

Actually, I very much appreciated the post. I will be quoting that site
often!

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

If the municipalities are willing to pay back the AIP money they
received, I suppose there may be some danger of eminent domain raids
on airports. What needs to be driven home to the leaders in those
municipalities, is the reliance on outlying municipal airports of the
coming SATS technological revolution in air transportation. Once the
little airport is converted into a strip mall, the municipality will
have to use eminent domain to reestablish it, or get left out of the
future change in aviation.

As awful as that would be, it might wake up the sheep.

Did Waco or Ruby Ridge "wake the sheep?"

When the entire Senate and House of Representatives, the First Lady
and the President of the world's only superpower are forced to flee
_imagined_ danger, it is not really funny; it's pathetic. It makes
our noble nation look like it is lead by a bunch of undignified,
scared little fools. Hmmm... :-)
