12 dead this weekend from GA crashes - what about skiing??
I think theres a difference between a sport and a federally and state
funded transportation system. Yes there is (it's federally funded BTW) - but your point *whatever it was* is lost when you start a thread trumpeting the deaths of X people in small aircraft, and follow that up with non-sequiturs about locking gas caps & drama etc. For a guy who doesn't fly you sure spend enough time in here spewing your slanted BS about GA & AOPA as if you have nothing better to do with your time. You've said before you have a Mossberg shotgun - do you post similarly ignorant drivel on NRA websites? You keep posting this crap to essentially the same group of pilot readers, who by now have all written you off as a wannabe pilot that couldn't get it done, or worse just another Internet crackpot. Ugh. disgusted sigh |

What would be wrong with mandating better security at GA airports? What would be wrong with enforcing noise abatement? What would be wrong with charging people for the services they use? Because NONE of the above is a real threat to anyone and THAT money can be better spent elsewhere. DUMBASS! The Monk I thought you were supposed to be a placid Buddhist type. The "DUMBASS!" seems to belie that... Anyway, excessive noise is a large, and growing problem. Millions of people are directly affected. There are many anti-noise groups throughout the country, but I choose to work solo, for now... As far as money being better spent elsewhere, I totally agree: federal grants (operating and AIP) to GA airports should be eliminated. Zero. Make the users fully pay. |

Ugh. disgusted sigh I don't post on NRA websites, nor do I belong to that group. I see both sides of the gun debate. I am not a wannabe pilot. Internet crackpot? Well, ok. I'll take that handle. (the comment about locking gas caps was in response to someone elses lament that planes do not have these...) As far as the "ugh!": I'll post less, but still visit the group regularly, as I do receive lots of good information here. BTW, I am breaking the news on the FAA budget ahead of the AOPA (see "Bush Budget"). Just trust me, I know about these things.... I expect a hysterical outcry is being prepared right now by the patriots at the AOPA. I bet it will be on their web site shortly. |

And just about every time some idiot from Minnesota comes out here to Montana to go snowmobiling we have to dig his dead ass out of the avalanche he started. |

Think again. Every mountain ski area is federally and state funded. I don't need to think again. You don't know what you're talking about. Here's SEC filings for american skiing corp, the largest operator of ski resorts in the USA. Dig deep, and find the federal funding. I'll be waiting. http://peaks.shareholder.com/EdgarDe...5-29&SID=05-00 Sure there are some state owned areas (cannon mt. in NH for e.g.), but ski areas are overwhelmingly privately owned, with absolutely zero state or federal funding. Where do u come up with this bizarre stuff???? The AOPA??? |
