“I’m ok with our military protecting our airspace.”
The airspace itself cannot be harmed. Period.
However, the elites on the ground have determined that light aircraft are a threat. So, huge chunks of normally navigable airspace get suddenly declared off limits to citizen pilots under threat of interception, and even death.
Every time a TFR (temporary flight restriction) is declared, scores of small airports are essentially put out of business for the duration.
How would you like it if you couldn’t back out of your driveway because Obama happened to be within 30 miles?
And who, exactly, decided that a typical light airplane, with the kinetic energy of a Volkswagen, is a threat? Most pilots I know are far from suicidal maniacs. They have to be pretty normal to get a pilots license.
Sheesh.
Private aviation is another freedom the statists want to eliminate.Mucj easier to control the people if they must use Aeroflot.
Lol.. nevermind him..
To much gubmint these days.
There was a big hoo-haa over roads being closed because the great zero was coming in Philly, I think. When Bush visited Springfield, MO I stood at the edge of the road and watched him drive by. No roads closed there. Therefore, there must be thousands of death threats against that other man.
