A GA pilot in the White House

More importantly, what would they call the flight? "Civil One"?

If there were some evidence to support that notion, I would agree. However,
there is none and in fact there is some evidence that it would get worse.

I wouldn't want to be President. Flying or no flying.

Would they let him fly or would the TFR's keep him grounded?


I doubt very much the Secret Service would allow him to fly himself.

That would wreak havoc on his currency. Perhaps that will give him cause
for pause? 8-)

Who here would give up flying for 4 years to be president?

I don't think so. The mail I get from the Democratic party pretty much states
that they don't think Bush has restricted us enough. They propose that "stricter
security measures" are necessary.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

Well .. since the Presidential TFR follows him .. he'd always be right in
the center of it and unable to fly.

I have a wonderful image of the president desperately trying to outrun
his or her TFR.

But of course it's not true. Bush took the controls on the famous
(infamous, if you prefer) day that he flew out to the aircraft
carrier. Any plane that the Secret Service could be persuaded was
safe, and that a president was qualified to fly, could be piloted by
him or her till the fuel got low.

It might not be technically proper, but they probably would call it "Air
Force One" out of habit.

White House One has a nice ring to it.

Imagine trying to cram the
Secret Service detail, "the football," and everything else that goes with
President aboard a typical GA plane.

How did they manage when Bush flew out to Lincoln? There was no Secret
Service detail in the S-3B.

No, once you become President, you can forget about doing a lot of things
that most people take for granted.

Ford went skiing at Vail. Arguably that's more dangerous than flying.
I've met three paraplegics in my life, and two of them were injured at
Aspen, one on Ajax and the other in a swimming pool.

I highly recommend Forte Agent as a newsreader. It handles newsgroup
messages far better than any "included" newsreader such as those
bundled with Internet Explorer, Outlook, Netscape, or Opera--all of
which I have tried.

Download the software at www.forteinc.com/agent/download.php

The program includes the latest version of Agent as well as its
freeware version, called Free Agent. This enables you to get the feel
of the software without paying up front.

However, where Agent really shines is in its ability to filter out
objectional subjects or posters: Control+K and you're done! It was to
get that functionality that I upgraded to the paid version a year ago,
and I have never regretted it. The cost to register the software (and
thereby to unlock the full-featured version on your computer) is $29.

(A major revison is in the works. However, if you register the current
version, the upgrade will be free.)
