Default Glider Pilot arrested for airspace

In article Ramy writes:
Sure, why not reward them even more.
I wonder if you would think the same after seating in jail sharing a cell with criminals for over 24 hours due to these morons.
I for one hope that the agreement not to sue them has no merit and that Robin will be able to buy himself a nice collection of new motorgliders funded by their pensions and bonuses, to make up for the trauma of spending a day and night in jail.
Sigh!!


I'm with Ramy on this. I would wish that some other entity could establish
that they had grounds to sue the local county over this. Perhaps AOPA provided
legal services to the pilot, and therefore has some cost incurred in the matter.
They didn't agree not to sue.

Either that, or demonstrate that the agreement not to sue was coerced through
force or threat of force, and is invalid.

In reality, I expect that neither will happen. Folks will just hope that the
government will not enact even more restrictions on general aviation.
