I wonder how many modelers even know that NOTAMS even exist?


What are they going to do: take your model airplane license away?

Well, they might just shoot you.


Redmond, WA (AP) -- Model Airplane Enthusiast Shot by Secret Service

Model airplane enthusiast David Adams was shot and killed by Secret Service
agents today as hundreds of young soccer players and their parents looked on
in horror. The Marymoor model airplane field was supposed to be closed
during Presidential candidate John Kerry's visit to Microsoft, but no
notices were posted. Agents claimed that they had attempted to shout
warnings to Adams, who had lost his hearing when a hand grenade exploded
near him while he was stationed with the Marines in Afghanistan. Agents for
the Secret Service accused Adams of being a potential terrorist who might
use his model plane in an attack.

The FAA had issued notices to pilots that there was to be no model airplane
activity at the park, but local RC modelers claimed that they had never
received them. Adams is survived by his wife and two small children. The
Kerry campaign expressed regret at the incident and claimed that critics of
the shooting had links to the Bush campaign. Kerry himself noted that Adams
was a contributor to the Bush campaign.

Nope. Don't see it happening. Presidential candidates have just too tough a
time getting elected if their bodyguards go around shooting people at
random.
