Ping. (Grrrrrrrrrrrr).

Is there a FL forum for this kind of stuff?

I know guys in GA who are far from "rich." This is typical tripe from folks who know jack all about GA. Twits.

If we removed the airfields, we would remove this potential threat. It's obvious!

Wait! If we destroyed all airplanes, then the threat from above would disappear!

But then again, if we KILL OURSELVES, then we will thwart any conceivable course of action by the terrorists!

See?

If we shut everything down, this Country will not be worth living in. If we apply this logic, nothing is safe. If freedom is to survive, we have to be willing to accept a great deal of chance.

Where did this come from?

I fly out of Orlando Country Airport.

Sounds like they are Talking about Orlando Executive Airport.

Didn't see the hit piece.

Phil Boyer should demand equal time to counter this garbage and set the record straight!

[agincourt1415]

They are having an Air Show this weekend at Orlando Executive by the way.

This new theory the media has recently come up with, of terrorists flying small planes into airliners is ridiculous. Collisions like this happen accidentally extremely infrequently, and when it does it's because of a fluke of nature.

It would be vitually impossible to deliberately fly a 90mph small plane into a 550mph airliner. They dont fly at the same altitudes. A small plane cannot match an airliner in climb speed, so it would be difficult to do at takeoff, while planes are still under tower control.

It's all another media scare story to propel ratings.

I still get the craving to fly on occasion; just too expensive a hobby for me these days. When I learned in the mid-80s, I rented a 172 wet for $45/hour. What does a nice 172 go for now?

I've contacted AOPA; gotta take this (and any other similar GA 'terrorist' story) seriously. Remember that Daley destroyed Miegs Field with this same line of crap!!

for the rich and their airplanes

Every aircraft owner I've ever know has a six-figure income but lives in abject poverty. A shopaholic mistress would be more affordable.

Ignorance and chicken-little hysterics are the ignorants' worst enemy. No biggie...

I know general aviation provides essential services, including often the only access during disasters. I feel no obligation whatsoever to educate the willingly ignorant.
