Wow... what a way to ruin one's chances at ever having a flying
career.

My thoughts exactly, good luck finding an aviation job in a non-third
world country.

For a great fictional book about a pilot in just this situation, check
out "Island of the Sequined Love Nun" by Christopher Moore. In the
story, the pilot takes his employers pink Lear on a joy ride and crashes
it trying to join the mile-high-club. One of my favorite books of all
time.

well, that was totally off-topic...

Well, first, thank god no one was hurt or killed (apparently). Second,
this is an excellent data point for the ADIZ controversy and for the GA
airport security debate. Outstanding actually!

I will be interested to see how Phil Boyer spins this latest incident to
"prove" how effective security is at GA airports, and to show that the
ADIZ is unnecessary. After all, how much damage could a stolen GA Jet do??
A truck, or even a Hyundai is more dangerous, right? Good thing he filed
the request (on the Docket Management System) for public hearings on making
the ADIZ permanent. Be careful what you wish for Phil!!!

Now, lets watch as the politicos (mainly the odious duo of
Schumer/Hillary) chime in. The media is all over it already, so the pols
are sure to follow!

Then the editorials will follow.

And I guess Big Phil will have to get yet another new bumper sticker to
replace the "I fly a C-150, ....fear me!" one. The repurcussions of the
stolen jet (a jet!!!!) are vast, and very exciting for anti-GA activists
such as myself.

Hey, I wonder if the AOPA advertising budget will have to go up when the
new propoganda ad appears in USA Today and other publications.

Boy, this is gonna be really fun.

Although, Phil may point out that the ADIZ s/b only applicable to high
performance prop planes or jets, to protect the recreational pilots (the
prime initiative of the AOPA).

This could cause a split between the AOPA and the organization that
represents business pilots (akin to what happened about 10-12 years ago in
that user fee debate).

Will be very interesting to watch.

And to unlock the cockpit door. Now, it's not a very sophisticated or
strong lock, but it is a lock. Do high end jets not have keys?

Generally once you get out of single engine planes, they don't have
keys. I've not yet been in a multi engine plane that had a key lock
(apart from the door).


Yes, but the door on a Citation VII is significantly more substantial
than on a 172.

Yes but you would be surprised to see how a business jet key look like,
your bicycle's is a lot more tamperproof

A 172 can be accessed without a key...just a screwdriver and a little brute
force. :~)

Airport security yes, ADIZ? Not sure how that's a factor here.

You really need to get a spell checker. Mistakes, like in this post, make
you look like an idiot.

Don't you know the best solution to prevent people from stealing
airplanes is to blow them out of the sky for violating the ADIZ?

And your need to point this out...
What do you think you now look like?

Heh. The last time I rented a C172, the tumbler in the pilot's door
literally fell out in flight. If you wanted to foil the lock, you'd just
have to jam a key in there and yank the hole thing out.
