Yet another home wrecked

Oh look!, despite what you said, the FAA is taking action against someone
who flew too low to a high school graduation.

In California you need a medical exam for a commercial driver's license
over a certain weight.

In Mass too. CDL requires drug test, etc. Many trucking companies also
randomly test their drivers. How about flight schools??

Plus, the trucks have mufflers, and there are police that will pull over a
truck that is speeding, or disobeying other traffic laws if they are
spotted. How about small planes?

I saw one idiot last weekend in a Cessna that was no more that 300 feet
up, just cruising around the area. Clear violation of FARs. But, no
there is no agency resposible for enforcement, or even a place to complain
to.

(His whining is never for naught; it's the only _rise_ he gets in life.)

"Meanwhile, the student's father claims his son was flying at 1,000 feet and
was given clearance to do so. He said air-traffic control tapes from the FAA
tower in Manchester would prove it."

Most "civilians" could not judge distance (or speed) to save their asses.
Ever see someone waiting to enter traffic when the nearest car is a quarter
mile away or more? And waiting....and waiting...and waiting....

At least as far as this article is concerned, that's an undecided
question. There's the claim that the student was far higher than the
report to the police, and the tapes involved have yet to be reviewed.

Still, it does show that enforcement is possible when a pilot flies too
low. Is this Skylune fellow always this accurate? Is he or she just a
troll, or another "forever september" holdover?

A troll, yes... and apparently someone who at one point wanted to get
his PPL but couldn't hack it for whatever reason. Now he rants on this
newsgroup ad nauseum about his hatred of Phil Boyer and AOPA and how GA
is subsidized by the FAA et al...
