"but I
knew the knee-jerk anti-GA types (Skylune) would jump all over this... and I was right." Knee-jerk? I've been at this quite some time. "Anti-GA" is really just short-hand. I just think there should be much stricter regulation of GA, real enforcement of the FARs, that the FAA is hopelessly conflicted in its roles, that obtaining a PPL is much too easy (having had some limited experience here myself, and flying with my GPS challenged buddy), and that the subsidies s/b curtailed. I would not propose tearing the yoke out of any qualified pilot's hands, anymore than I would want someone to tell me I had to hand in my Mossberg (to go back to the gun ownership vs. right to fly analogy). Just watch, my predictions will materialize: 1. Press reaction (justified- I mean a stolen jet is certainly newsworthy) 2. Political opportunism: Here's Chuck and Hillary! 3. Editorializing. Its as predicatable as the tides. What I'm waiting is to see how the AOPA reacts, and how this most recent incident factors into the the ADIZ and GA airport security debate. |
