The problem with allowing combat aircraft into private hands

That was Sacramento Metro, which resides in an area surrounded
by residential neighborhoods. My wife grew up a couple miles west
of the airport.

He botched
the take-off, and crashed into an ice cream stand killing
a number of children who were standing in line for ice cream
on a hot California afternoon.
