Look out! Fox was interviewing some Congresscritter saying, 'we've got to
put an end to unrestricted general aviation, think what could have happened
had this been a terrorist'.
Of couse this ignores the fact that there already are no corridors over NYC
where GA can fly w/out being in contact w/ATC.
This flurry of Minden/Brazil/NYC may put our aviation rights/privileges at
risk.
Background - A Cirrus crashed into a building in midtown, killing 2 in the
aircraft; one on the ground. Cause of the crash is unknown.
Reports say the plane belonge to NY Yankee pitcher Corey Lytle and that
his passport was found on the ground. Seems the plane circled the
Statue of Liberty and was 'flying erratically' before the crash.
Only what I heard on the long drive home in the rain..............
