"Jordan" wrote in message ... Ok I thought of something else. Does anyone know if celebrity pilots like Travolta and Ford are at all active on these issues? You'd think Travolta would have something to say given his airport living arrangements. Then the general public might actually listen. If we have to have celebrity endorsement, then our nation is too brain dead to endure and is finished. |

Dan, Your capacity for critical thinking and differentiation is remarkable....when it suits your preconceived notions. |

"Paul Folbrecht" wrote in message ink.net... Yes, they do. The media, however, doesn't. If the plane was shot down there'd probly have been alot of damage and at least one fatality from the impact. Doesn't the general public have any critical thinking skills whatsoever? The same general public that, all glassy eyed, watches the media? |

"David H" wrote in message ... They asked, "why weren't air force fighters scrambled to intercept and shoot down this plane?" These people are nuts. There is a reason why we try to keep the armed forces from police duties in this country. Just what kind of government is CBS trying to push? What is their real agenda? |

Y'All, over thirty years ago I taught such a pilot a bit past solo. He
stole a club plane and took a bottle up with him while he flew all over the S.F. Bay Area while telling ATC what he was doing.. He passed out. Fortunately, or otherwise, the aircraft was trimmed for \a slight climb and headed nearly north. He crashed in the Nevada desert with no injury to the 'pilot' but destroyed the aircraft. What a waste of instruction. Good or otherwise. A war story for every situation. While I've got you attention. I had a 'new' experience this afternoon when of the final landing of a pre-solo lesson the engine died on the runway. I rolled clear of the runway and told tower we had an engine failure. Then I noted that the mixture was all the way out. The Student had 'leaned the mixture' as a part of his post landing checklist. I wonder if I'll live long enough to have happen to me, everything that can happen? Gene |

Instead, the student pulled the mixture, killing the engine. When the student realized what he had done, he pleaded with the instructor, "your plane, your plane!" The CFI calmly replied, "this aircraft was working when I handed it over to you. I don't want it back now; it's not working!" |
