To bring just a little sensibility to this thread that started stupidly
and racist enough: There IS something I've been wondering about. Forget the student because he's just a student and may not have known better. But the other guy was an instructor from what we read. With that being the case, I have some questions and/or comments to throw in here. The planned trip was quite a distance away so this supposedly knowledgeable instructor must have filed a VFR flight plan as is accepted practice for ANY responsible pilot. If so, and they wandered toward the White House, would they not have been in a discussion with at least the FSS of the area. And if they weren't talking to anyone, and their 1200 transponder blip was seen heading toward the White House, would it not have been a simple thing for the FSS to take a look at all the VFR flight plans in the area for that time and figured out who it might be and try to raise them on the radio WAY before the 150 got so close to the White House? Additionally (and if it were me), I would have asked for Flight Following as is MY custom for any cross country VFR flights. No, they may not have asked for that, but I would have thought that they would have for the purpose of getting the student more radio time which is an important part of the pilot's learning process. Bottom line is that I have to wonder: Weren't they talking to ANYBODY after they took off? Are we to think that a C150 owned by a flying club had no radio? For my part, I have to think that they WERE talking to somebody and that we will eventually find out that some responsibility may rests with the FAA in some capacity. Unfortunately for DrunkKlingon, there is a good chance that if that happens, there is a good probability that the person will turn out to be white :-) MJC "Stan Gosnell" wrote in message ...

"Roger" wrote in message ... However that's not going to be a problem as half the states are refusing to go along with the new drivers license program and the feds say people from those states won't be able to board airliners if they don't, so ... Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) Well that's a new twist. So ALL the residents of any state that don't sign on to the new program will be barred from flying on the airlines? And you thing that's really going to happen? I'd like to have you site a federal govt source for that statement so that we can go read it for ourselves. |

So Mr. Klingon, why don't you give us some figures on the percentage of
minorities in management positions within the FAA, and how those figures are trending before you rest your case. And while you're at it could you also share the percentage of those said rank and file employees that happen to be minorities? If it's anywhere near the percentage of professional minority pilots then it's probably around 3% or less. We have had failures in numerous aspects of our governmental apparatus, whether it be the space program, the military, homeland security, or intelligence. And from what I can tell minorities weren't running the show. Dave |

All responders so far are all clueless or FAA employees.
You must all work for the "Guvment" huh?? Anyway some clarification for the stupid people. You know who you are. Maybe you don't know who you are??? I did not say STOP ALL AIRCRAFT for 250 miles(For you dip ****s that I hope do not even wash planes besides fly them) I said PROPERLY IDENTIFY THEM AND ROUTE THEM AND TRACK THEM The FAA's JOB for the stupid people again The FAA failed miserably again with the DC chaos just like the 4 airliners who drove hundreds of miles OFF TRACK on the FAA watch during 9/11 DUMMY I NEVER proposed a no-fly(for the stupid people who are blinded by the instant protection of worthless unqualified dead weight in the "Guvment" by calling names) Sometimes, you must listen to people who state not politically correct terms or opinions. Our country was founded on sharp edged speech and opinion MORON(s) UNLESS YOU ARE really Chinese spies However, due to your limited intellectual ability to see past your ass(drunkklansman attack rhetoric etc.)I am no longer responding to stupid people. Drive a cab please not an airplane. Or go get ya a "Guvment" Job You sir, are the IDIOT Scott Moore wrote: DrunkKlingon wrote: Face it, the FAA is on the decline. The Potomac Tracon (Managed by unqualified FAA Government minorities) allowed a Cessna 150 within 3 miles of the White House!!???!?!?!? MAJOR F^&% UP!!!!!! CNN this morning did not mention the FAA at all (Major responsibility area) They also mentioned no big deal the F16's were on "top of it" and could have blasted it from the sky. One major problem. A flaming 150 loaded with radioactive waste would render downtown DC useless and some people dead by falling wreckage. YOU MUST STOP THE AIRCRAFT WAY THE HELL BEFORE 3 MILES NUMB NUTS Sure, lets raise the paranoia level until we are shooting down everything near downtown DC. Then we can go ahead and open up the downtown airport to all private craft as well. Why ? Well, by that time, everything south of a large airline is going to be scared to death of going within 100 miles of DC, and the airlines are probally going to insist on on fighter escorts just to ensure no accidents. Heres another idea: Have the airlines land outside DC and pick up a military pilot to proceed into downtown. Big ships do that. My god, you are an idiot. |

SNIP
A White Male with experience in "Guvment" in Washington at the FAA Potomac TRACON?????????? You sir are on drugs It will be a black male or female or white female in the F*&$ up loop. I will bet you a paycheck on that one. Am I Racist or are you a Politically Correct Brainwash Victim? You go first with evidence and clarification please. Unfortunately for DrunkKlingon, there is a good chance that if that happens, there is a good probability that the person will turn out to be white :-) |

DrunkKlingon wrote in message .. . Anyway some clarification .... I did not say STOP ALL AIRCRAFT for 250 miles I NEVER proposed a no-fly The magic buzz word for this is a FRZ or Flight Restricted Zone which is currently 13 to 15 miles around the VOR/DME at Reagan National Airport. I said PROPERLY IDENTIFY THEM AND ROUTE THEM AND TRACK THEM The magic buzzword for this is ADIZ or Air Defense Identification Zone which is currently about a 30 nautical mile radius around Reagan National Airport. Expanding the ADIZ to 100 miles might not be a bad idea. Here is a good map of the current Washington ADIZ and FRZ http://www.richardcrouse.com/crouse/maps.html |

It's not measured at all from the WASHINGTON VOR. It's an irregularly shaped blob which follows stupid-assed things like the isogonic line from the 2001 sectional chart. |
