You folks
in your flying machines represent that to me, and any assault on your
freedoms would need to be justified by a much denser history of mishaps
than exists to date.

Thanks for the eloquent post! Best wishes to you.

Maybe there
should not be seams in VFR corridors obliging pilots to negotiate
high-skill turns over ultra-populated ground?

If our speculations about a too-wide turn are indeed correct, it might point
to the need for additional training on that issue (although even on the East
River--which is about the tightest turn I know of that a pilot would
ordinarily need to make other than in mountain flying--I'm not aware of any
other crashes caused by the tight turn).
