Sharpton gets his aviation facts flat wrong in latest sequester scare-monger tactic. Ping to Today show list.
Facts and the truth have never bothered Al Sharpton at any time during his “career”. Why should he break that record now?
Tawana Brawley, anyone?
Anybody who regards Al Sharpton as anything but a piece of gutter filth isn’t worth listening to or knowing.
A Class D airport isn’t too bad for flying into non towered (many D airports are non towered at least part of the time). I wouldn’t want to fly into a Class B or even C no tower.
If the government can't afford to fund a food bank, are people just going to stand outside starving while people walk by, or are we just going to go back to having churches and other charities fund them and take care of the problem ourselves?
And by the way, what’s up with Al? Back in the Tawana Brawley days he was a big guy, now he looks like he has AIDS. In his case thinner does not look healthier.
It’s true. Unless a VFR aircraft squawking 1200 is within reception range of an operating control tower, it’s engine is automatically shut-down using the Mode J Lock-out and the pilot must perform an emergency landing. This is part of the new ADS-B system of aircraft traffic control. And since that will eliminate VFR flight, all aircraft will have to file IFR which, because of the sequester, will now take five hours after filing to receive a clearance. Airlines are installing emergency bunk rooms and medical clinics at airports now to help handle the passenger back-up.
