wrote in Message-Id: hJyUa.151232$N7.20976@sccrnsc03: this is childish. and you know it. He has his point. Maybe valid to a certain degree and in the light of your new security, freedom and your old "I sue you for that I have not thought about the consequences". Yes, it is. And IMHO it highlights Larry's suffocating paranoia better than if I had blasted back with what I really WANTED to say to people like him. Instead, why don't you think about the questions I posed in my articles, perhaps run them by your family for an opinion, and respond to those POINTS, instead of refocusing the issue on the type of people you imagine my views represent? My objection isn't about stifling you in any way, other than when your behavior could potentially impact the hard earned image of responsibility airmen must necessarily garner to navigate this nation's skies. Larry has no points to make, valid or otherwise. I'm sorry you missed the point. I can attempt to make it more explicit for you if you would like. I don't know where he lives, but the America I choose to live in has NOT degenerated to the point where I can no longer throw a party for you guys, for fear of reprisals. When you calm down enough to find the point, you'll see that your fear of reprisal for the reason you state is unfounded. It's just, that feel compelled (by a sense of aero-dignity) to express my indignation at the _facts_ of your ill conceived marketing effort in this forum, and the negative light it publicly casts on GA pilots in this country. What one does in private is his business, unless it impacts the rights of others. Public behavior is subject to public scrutiny, because it necessarily impacts the public. Publicly inviting en route pilots to consume alcohol could easily be spun by the unscrupulous news media into something that would reflect badly on our fellow airmen. I'm sure that wasn't your intent, but ... In my opinion, your licentious marketing campaign undermines the public trust granted airmen by those over whom they navigate. Or it sure wouldn't be difficult to spin it that way. This is the article to which I'm referring: From: "Jay Honeck" Newsgroups: rec.aviation.piloting Subject: Oshkosh Bound? Free Beer in Iowa! NNTP-Posting-Host: 12.217.229.103 Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 14:13:08 GMT Yes, for those pilots who are hot, tired, thirsty, and en route to Oshkosh on Sunday, July 27th, Mary and I are holding our First Annual Fly-In Pool Party at the Alexis Park Inn & Suites in Iowa City, IA.! Plug in "IOW" on your GPS, and high-tail it on in -- your flight into OSH on Monday will be that much shorter (we're just 80 minutes from OSH in our Pathfinder), you'll arrived [sic] more refreshed -- and, besides, where the heck ELSE are you gonna get free beer en route to the Big Show, anyway? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" -- Irrational beliefs ultimately lead to irrational acts. -- Larry Dighera, |

What would you do if you became aware that one of the airmen who imbibed your free beer, departed before 8 hours had elapsed, and subsequently generated an NTSB report? Reckon Jay'd scratch his head and wonder why someone who'd done all the work to become a pilot would commit such egregious foolishness. You really are a ****head, Larry. |

I am in search for such _cheap_ good webcams (like Axis) with ethernet. But the are average going $300 to $400 ... can you point me to a good seller? Look at www.apple.com and follow the links to the iSight camera and software. I am wondering if this would serve the purpose? |

I don't want to be a "wet blanket," but *publicly* providing liquor to pilots seems foolish to me. Darn lawyers. One cannot even have a friendly party anymore. If the Wright Brother's had consulted an attorney when they first thought about building an airplane, they would have gotten out of the bicycle business, too. (More people die in bicycle accidents than aircraft accidents.) |

He's had a bad few days I'm still running with Larry on this one :-) People, put down the complimentary chips and back away from the free dip, Do you want to lose your medicals? Heart attack in-flight? McDonald's can weather the Big Fat legal storm (for now), can Jay? I don't think so. [One Scenario] NTSB investigators have released preliminary findings: Possible in-flight heart burn may have caused the pilot to run out of fuel, stall, spin, and crash ...during the thunderstorm. Other contributing factors: greasy food stains were found on the yoke, the radio and the door handles. No nacho chips could be found at the crash scene. The first post crash lawsuit has already been filed in Iowa District Court, naming: The Alexis Park Inn, Weber Grill Company, Lloyd's Barbecue sauce, and Frito-Lay as ....

!FDC 3/5802 ZAU IN.. FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS GARY/CHICAGO AIRPORT, GARY, IN. DUE TO THE AIRPORT HANGAR PARTY NIGHT AIR SHOW, EFFECTIVE: 0307182200 UTC UNTIL 0307190400 UTC (JULY 18, 1700 UNTIL 2300 LOCAL)... What's a Night Air show?

I thought it was no smoking within eight hours of flying and no drinking within 100 feet of the airplane. Hmmm... If that was the case, then nearly everyone in the North 40 last year violated the second part of that rule... grin |
