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.


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.

Doesn't it also follow a Maryland bike path?

Hmmm.... I could have sworn that it was. Take a look at this FAA website
and see of you agree with me.

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.
