I'm not sure what engine strength has to do with it, if anything at
all. My concern is having someone shooting down from a plane. Just seems like a scenario ripe for disaster to me. AJ |

oups.com... I'm not sure what engine strength has to do with it, if anything at all. My concern is having someone shooting down from a plane. Just seems like a scenario ripe for disaster to me. I dunno. Depending on the altitude (presumably very low, otherwise actually hitting a predator is unlikely), it may be safer than shooting from the ground (for any reason), in that there is a very nice backstop close to the shooter. Shooting from the ground the bullet can travel MUCH farther than intended. Assuming this isn't expanded to hunting in general, it's probably not that big of a deal. I could be wrong. But on the face of it, I don't see anything that greatly worries me. I'll just stop running with the packs of wolves and coyotes in Idaho, and hopefully that'll keep me out of anyone's gunsight. ![]() Note that the article has a variety of inaccuracies, including the implication that one can get an Sport Pilot Certificate in only 8 hours.

It has been long practice from J3 to Super Cub, just open
the door and shoot at a 45 degree angle, the prop doesn't like buckshot. We need these on the Mexican border to shoot coyotes. -- James H.
