No, that's not right, either. The reasons for the hassles setting up
a picnic area (at our airport, anyway) is that the FAA is VERY
paranoid about cities pulling a "Mayor Daley" on them, and claiming
that the airport is a "park".

Of course the historical FACT is that Northerly Island was built and
PAID FOR by the Park Board, i.e. all CHICAGO
TAXPAYERS.

Jeez, you guys can't quit your moaning and disinformation....JG ga'
day sir

Try a concert stage instead

In article om,
went to a rock concert, smoked some dope, wet the
bed and pecked out :

I suppose that the Park Board built the runways, too? IIRC, it was FAA
money that paid for it -- the island was built from dredgings for Navy
Pier. It was sleight of hand that let the Parks Dept. gain title to it.

Go have your damn rock concerts and dope fests somewhere else!

oups.com... Again,
are you seriously positing that we have as much freedom today
as we had on 9-10-01? I guess all those people at the AOPA annual
meetings are all worked up for nothing?

All those people are worked up because Frederick, MD -- AOPA's home
base -- is right outside the ADIZ.

Seems both of you confuse "freedom" with "convenience".

No. Two tenets of the American justice system that have been trashed
for pilots since 9-11: 1) innocent until proven guilty

Get pulled over by a cop aith an APB on your vehicle and see how THAT goes
down.

and 2) the
right to examine evidence against you. These are hardly matters of
"convenience."

Restricting flight in a given area relates...how?

Hey - this is cool - I finally got all of MX's posts blocked. I must
have been a good boy for the computer gods to finally smile on me.

Kindest regards,

James A. (Jim) Carter

I'm pretty sure that was not aimed at you, but the MX.

I've been the cop in that encounter, so I'm sure I have a different
perspective. But imagine the cop doesn't want to believe your story,
so you go to the magistrate. And the mag says "well, we have to
punish somebody, so it may as well be you."

In the way it's being enforced. I'm not going to draw you a picture
-- go back and read the thread. You want to believe you haven't lost
anything, go right ahead. I'm done trying to teach pigs to sing.

And we're done trying to cure schizophrenia and paranoia.
