Another small plane SLAMS into home, killing one occupant
The pilot and his passenger who crashed last month in Virginia (I think)
were developers flying to their project. They might disagree if they were
still alive. (The recently deceased House Slamming jet pilot was a lawyer
-- interesting how many pilots are lawyers or politicians in real
life.... but that's another rant.)
BTW, there is nothing preventing the airports from purchasing surrounding
land if "encursion" is really such a big issue. Of course, that would
mean the airport would have to shell out some dollars... Cheaper to just
fence off these properties and leave them undeveloped, all for the benefit
of the airport.
Or maybe, Congress should pass a law PROHIBITING POPULATION GROWTH. Boyer
might not oppose that.
Or, if enough pilots began Slamming into homes located near airports, that
would discourage the evil, greedy developers and solve everything. Of
course the developers would protest, producing phony economic benefit
studies, which would be countered by equally phony economic benefit
studies produced by independent agencies, such as AOPA, the state aviation
board, or the airport itself. It would be a food-fight, but entertaining
to observe.....
