[snipola] Like I say, freedom of speech is the bit of the US ideal I like. Ah, but freedom of speech truly is just a tiny "bit" of the U.S. ideal. As I mentioned in a previous post, simply riding my ebike, for example, is illegal in the U.K. -- as is commercial, single-pilot IFR, flying single-engine A/C over densely populated urban areas, flying homebuilt A/C in IMC, flying a microlight without a license, flying a homebuilts at night (even VFR), performing basic modifications to your own homebuilt A/C, etc. etc. etc.... With all your asinine laws and bureaucratic red tape not to mention astronomically high cost of "petrol," taxes, insurance, tariffs, landing fees etc. it's amazing that people are still flying at all in the U.K. No wonder so many Brits and Europeans come to the U.S. just to fly. Got it, John? Now visualize the closing scene in the movie "Braveheart" and hear me screaming.... FRRREEEEEEEEEEEDDDDOOOOOOMMMMMMMMmmmmmm! |
