Default Airspace Violations OLC

When someone passes you on the highway doing 15 over the speed limit,
do you call 911 and sic the coppers on him? If you see your neighbor
in a sleazy bar about to get lucky, do you call his wife?


No, because it doesn't hurt me. If the speeding car is driving
recklessly (I don't consider speed in itself reckless), then I will try
to report.

The saying "Mind your own business" comes to mind!


ABSOLUTELY. Airspace violations ARE my business. Whether my neighbor
is a communist, is not. But if he beats his wife, or vice versa, I
will call the cops.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to be forced to file an IFR
flight plan to go soaring above 10K or more than 5 miles from the
airport.

The OLC is not mandatory. So let's only claim LEGAL flights and enjoy
the fruits of the freedoms we have here in the USA. (The naysayers so
far have been from the USA, best I can tell).
