Default first DC now NYC

DC wasn't enough. Now a new ADIZ around NY is coming with an internal
flight restricted zone. Will the idiocy never stop? !

We are slowly but surely proving to the world our level of intelligence
and learning ability. From locked 3 foot fences to TFRs that serve no
purpose except derail GA.

How long does it take an airliner to go from one side of NY to the other?
How long to scramble?
How long to learn?

What is the weight and balance of a standard Cessna vs. the carrying
capacity of a volvo?

How many times have we heard this before and done nothing about it?

Why do we continue to defend the illogical just because...

If you have media contacts and have not used them to help GA ... shame on
you. shame shame.

Nope. Chicago will be next.


I can understand concern about NYC and Washington even if it is
misplaced, but who'd miss Chicago?

Yah, I won't go there for recreation for any reason. (Had 2 changes last
year) When I have a chance to buy anything no-aviation, I go elsewhere (and
tell them why). (I don't want to penalize a vendor for living under a
corrupt dictatorship.)

Thx, {|;-)

That's most likely what he's referring to (the two week TFR). I admit I
don't like it anymore than the original poster, but we as pilots will
never have leverage to do anything about it. The Secret Service is the
agency responsible for these TFRs since they're the ones charged with
protecting the President, and given the amount of autonomy they have,
it is very hard to hold them accountable for just about anything. That
is what I perceive as a fundamental flaw in our government which the
general population seems perfectly content to live with (because it
doesn't affect them directly, nor really indirectly as well).

I see mention on AOPA's page about a *TFR* for the UN and Presidential
visit from Sep 14-28. Do you have a link for a proposed permanent
ADIZ like DC?


Third sentence of that article - "An air defense identification zone (ADIZ) with
an inner flight restricted zone (FRZ) similar to the one over Washington, D.C.,
will be in effect September 14 to 16."
