Again the AOPA ought to say this is fine and in the interest of both national security and flight safety. I agree with you guys.. This is not the one to fight over. The only think I can think of is "precedence setting" and "slippery slope" with regards to AOPA's rationale in fighting this aggressively. Dave Dave, I understand that concept but as GIG mentioned, this one is not worth falling on your sword. It is a measly 2000 vertical feet where few planes fly anyway (my guess). If I had to fly there I would fly under, over or through talking to ATC. I am all in favor of using appropriate technology to protect our borders. This one does not appear to infringe even marginally upon our ability to fly. Ron Lee |
