Dangerous Cessna evacuates govt again

Shooting down one Cessna would wake up a lot of pilots.

Exemplary 'justice' is not justice. Also consider the people below that
the burning parts of missile and aircraft would rain down on - why
should they deserve to die also?

Those pilots do NOT deserve to be shot down, and it would not be
justice. They SHOULD have an appropriate punishment that any pilot would
get for violating a prohibited area of airspace.

Nearly a million pilots in this country don't deserve to be portrayed
as potential terrorists night after night in the media either, but it
happens and I don't see any end in sight. OF COURSE, I don't actually
want to see a Cessna shot down. I'm just frustrated by the situation.
As I said in my post, I expressed a wild thought. I immediately knew I
shouldn't have.

How do we get the media, and subsequently the American people to
understand that these small airplanes are flown by our American friends
and neighbors? I give up. The only way I could see the media EVER
showing that picture is if they had to do a story on the American
family shot out of the sky. The picture they like is the pilot on the
ground surrounded by agents.

But I'd better shut up. I'm going to be very misunderstood again.

No you won't, Gene. Those who "misunderstand" your thoughts do so
purposefully.

You have hit the nail right on the head, sad to say. The ONLY way this crap
is going to stop is when a family like mine gets blown out of the sky by a
Blackhawk's mini-gun, live on CNN.

Only when little bits of Piper are raining down on D.C. -- and the
subsequent exposes and docu-dramas are made for the USA network -- will the
following happen:

a) The stupid TFRs will be relaxed, and
b) Stupid pilots will FINALLY get the message.

Until then, we can only hold our breath and wait for the other shoe to drop.

It'll stop because there will now be extra prohibited and restricted
airspace, to ensure when the next light aircraft gets shot down, it
doesn't rain parts on a populated area.

The TFRs would be strengthened if that happened, I have no doubt.

The nearest non-populated area is in another state I'm afraid.

They ain't temporary.

Are you really that good? You could never make that kind of mistake?

I wanna be like you.
