I know a doctor who landed on the taxiway when cleared to land at Hart's Field, Atlanta Int'l. Twice!

Or how about the C5 transport plane belonging to the Airforce that landed at Newburgh airport in New York instead of the airbase in Poughkipsee? They had to dismantle the wings and truck it out because it was too short of a runway.

Inhoffe has been a GA pilot for thirty years I know of. He flies a Cesna 421, which is a lot of complex plane without a copilot. Biz jets are easier to fly than high performance twin piston engines.

What airbase in Po’keepsie? There ain’t none.

Do you mean Griffis in Rome, NY?

FYI....it is not Hart's (or anybody's) Field.

It was name for the greatest Mayor in Atlanta history.... William B. Hartsfield

During the clinton era, Imhoffe was a huge thorn in the clinton machine.

He spoke truth to power continuously from the Senate floor.

I know how this sounds, but the truth is that many people met their deaths during the clinton reign of terror, over thrity associates of bill clinton. Most by drive-by shooting in out of the way places and quite a few, and I mean this is a huge coincidence, in small planes. Imhoffe took off once and very quickly his the propeller of his plane (whatever brand he was flying then), FELL OFF. Totally. He was able to land via his skill and probably luck. Interesting, too, the propeller was found. I never heard whether or not tampering was involved.

He flys from his home to areas around his huge state to visit citizens and attend various events.
