Stolen Jet found in Georgia

"Tamara Whitman" wrote in message ...
"The plane, a $7 million Cessna Citation 7, was found at the
Gwinnett County Airport-Briscoe Field on Monday and remained
there this morning, said Darren Moloney, spokesman for the
Gwinnett County Police Department. The plane is owned by Pinnacle
Air of Springdale, Ark., which had no comment on the incident
today."

"Planes are easy to steal if you know how to fly them, because
they usually do not require a key to start the engines, Gwinnett
County Police Sgt. D. Mattox told the Gwinnett Daily Post."
--Damn he's giving away all the secrets!

I could be paranoid here, but are we being set up? Need to watch this one real close...

I'm beginning to think so also. That's three joyrides in a couple months. Bigger
planes each time. Bigger airports each time.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

"Set up"??? For what? Please explain.

"Set up" as in someone with an axe to grind or some political hay to make hiring
or otherwise organizing people to steal aircraft in order to advance a policy of
restrictions against other people. Such as airplane owners.

There's a very old saying that you should never attribute to malice what can be
attrributed to stupidity. Following that, the first theft (that of a kid
stealing a Cessna) should be considered to be a simple case of stupidity. And
when some drunk goes joyriding into Hilary Clinton's back yard, a reasonable man
still thinks this is just a remarkable display of lack of intelligence. At some
point, however, a reasonable man begins to feel that there may be more going on
than just the acts of stupid people.

Whether we've reached that point or not is debatable, but something is beginning
to smell fishy.

The '2-lock' law like New Jersey had proposed is starting to sound not so
crazy.

To quote an unknown general
"Once is serendipity,
Twice is coincidence,
Three times is enemy action"

IMHO,
Personal freedoms are under attack as never before.
In any conflict for power, the first casualty is truth.

Happy landings,
