ALL AIRCRAFT WITHIN 60 MILES of DC SHOULD BE SQUAWKING AND
TRACKED, surface to 50,000 feet The fact that a 150 (Student pilot and Instructor) Could have been... (2 Arabs looking for 72 virgins with plastic explosives and Uranium isotope) is scary TSA (Thousands Standing Around) is a joke FAA (Still worrying more about promoting unqualified black females and Gay pride month than air safety) is a joke Homeland Security is nothing but a bloated "Guvment" empire Militarize the airspace around sensitive areas (DC New York and others) and get the FAA out of the business of social engineering (Promoting woman and blacks) and put them back on their primary job of Air safety The chaos in DC with thousands of Government employees rushing on to the streets and looking up with the possibility of a F16 blasting a 150 or 172 out of the air full of radioactive debris was just F&^% Stupid. Imagine if the F16 did shoot down the 150?? Where is it going to land?? What if it was full of a dirty bomb???? Shooting it down would be worse than letting it crash. STUPID STUPID STUPID way of handling the situation This time we got lucky. I am sure the ragheads are laughing at our total buffoon handling of the situation last week What a joke Cockpit Colin wrote: I'm curious ... What do you folks in the USA think the answer to the big "question" is, when it comes to things like security of the whitehouse? What's best ... (a) Increase the radius of the no-fly zones to give greater protection against faster aircraft? (b) Leave things the way thay are now and "hope for the best"? (c) Something else? Seriously, we've all read many compelling arguments as to how and why the existing procedures don't work, and tend to "drag down" GA - what I'm interested in hearing though is not what DOESN'T work, but what DOES. Any ideas? Cheers, CC |
