Rose, a Republican who said she did not vote for Obama, joked about mailing the president a note for his birthday.
“Oh, dear, maybe I should send him a belated birthday card and say, ‘You should have stayed home and Michelle baked you a birthday cake.’”
She is sooooooo screwed...

>>> the 75-year-old aviation enthusiast looked out her cockpit window to see two F-16 fighter jets
It could have been worse. Another lady pilot once learned that.

Poor Myrtle - it just ain't like 50 years ago when most airspace was unrestricted and you could just jump in your plane, never turn on your radio, and fly around unimpeded.
Now FedGov owns the air we breathe and fly in. You don't get to participate any more unless you're one of the chosen. Myrtle is white and a Republican. Double-whammy, she needs to just shut up and die already.
Oh, and since she's obviously a "private airplane" owner and has too much personal wealth, FedGov needs to confiscate her estate and redistribute to the poor yoots on the South Side. It's only fair, you know.

Can an F-16 fly slow enough to keep up with a 1941 Piper Cub?

Of course the gubmit is going to send her the bill for this, plus a hefty fine. What did they think she was going to do? Pull out a bomb, like they do in the cartoons, and hand drop it on AF-1?
Remind me to go out and buy some more Rose brand Canadian bacon. It’s good stuff!

At my airpark we have a 70 + year old gent who still teaches aerobatics.

At least she didn’t have Air Force One buzz NYC for a photo op.

"There's really no excuse for not knowing," said Lt. Col. Mike Humphreys, a spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command, which scrambled the two warplanes, a proposition that costs $9,000 an hour for each jet. "Anyone who flies an aircraft should know the restrictions."
Unadulterated crap. If this would have escaped notice any other day, then it was in Class G airspace. The comings and goings of a commie are not on the horizon for this lady. Good for her.

Gotta love it.
Bump for keeping track of this story, just in case O and his overreaching minions try to make an example of this awesomely cool customer of an American.
May God give us strength.

"Anyone who flies an aircraft should know the restrictions." Hey Lt. Colonel Jerkweed, these temporary flight restrictions are imposed on very short notice based on the whims of TOTUS and where wants to go to party and raise money.

Well now, Is the great Oh Bam A skeert of a little old lady in a 70 year old plane, or can he man up and call off the dogs?
Tune in next week...

“There’s really no excuse for not knowing”
Light Col. Mike Humphreys is an arrogant insufferable jerk who probably hopes his fascistic attitude will fast track him to full bull colonel before Obama is kicked out in 2012.
I flew through, not over, downtown Chicago once in a UH-1H. We checked NOTAMs and maintained radar contact (the only possible criticism of this pilot; radio and transponder are basic for flight safety) and there was no problem as we noodled past the Sears Tower with people waving down at us from the observation deck.
“$9,000.00 per flying hour”. That’s a BS charge; those hours are going to be flown anyway just doing training task iterations and the F-16s being diverted for a real interception is merely an added training benefit.
And I still don’t see where this flyboy gets to pass judgement on the actions of a private citizen.

Her plane’s name is “Winston”.
Hussein’s SS probably has standing orders against anything within 100 miles of him having anything to do with that name.

Ballad of Serenity
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me...
