"Ron Natalie" wrote No, airplane almost hit by meat bomb. I was thinking the same thing. Funny, how the "faster, larger" moving thing is always at blame for hitting the "slower, smaller" thing. Like, in pedestrian vs. car accidents. It is always put in the news as, "Pedestrian is struck by car." Many times, it is the pedestrian that steps into the side of, or into the path of the car. Anyway, they are both lucky, it ended as a near miss. -- Jim in NC |

Well, let's just say the car was so close to me while while I was legally crossing the street that somehow my foot found it's way into the side of the car's door. The good thing about having close calls in crosswalks is it makes me very aware of them as a driver.

Yes, and it would be a damn shame if that brazen lawlessness of the sky skum would happen to rub off on the otherwise saintly, god-like pilots who claim as much right to airport access as the skydivers. FWIW -- people who jump from fixed objects are base-jumpers. They are facing their own struggle for access to sites that are suitable for their lawful chosen sport. Skydivers jump from aircraft. Just like the general population there are people who follow the law and there are lawbreakers. -- Oh!... except for pilots! Welcome to the world where pilots' "rights" take precedence over all else. Besides having their hands in all the taxpayer's wallets, they will destroy residential neighborhoods (most recent example is the decimation of hundreds of trees in Westerly RI) for increase air safety. The hell with the neighbors -- they are unimportant and will have to deal with the consequences -- increase noise and ugliness. Skydivers are just another nuisance that GA must eliminate. You see, the pilots believe they, and they alone, have a "right" to free skies. Everyone else must pay to support this right, and cannot complain about pollution, noise, destructive land use, runway expansions, etc. The good news is that they are paying more for AVgas, insurance, maintenance, etc. When the federal grants are reduced after 2007, they will begin paying ALOT more. |
