Bo Dietl is on Fox, and is talking like someone from the Sopranos about deese Piper Cubs and closing down the VFR corridor.
What a Horses Ass, he is going to make Phil Boyer's Job at AOPA a nightmare.
Dietl is a NYer, he supposed to talk like that.
To be expected from a blowhard thug like Bo Dietl. What's worse is the retard pilot correspondant that fox has on talking about "tightening up those flight paths..." Bo Dietl and Rep King thrive on bossing people around and "saving the day!" The reality is that they can bully GA pilots and hold them out as the bad guy with no real risk. AOPA has what, 400,000 members? big deal. Is there a more real terror threat from a bad guy renting an apartment and turning on the gas w/o pilot? yes. How about renting a Ryder truck and blowing it up? i think that one has been done before. Are these blowhards genuinely interested in "protecting the public" 1st and foremost? not a chance. They're all creeps, as are the tv news critters.
That crap Dietl spouts is the kind of thing that gets airports like Meigs closed and makes it a million times harder on General Aviation pilots to fly anywhere. Maybe we can ban private aircraft for all political campaigns and make 'em all fly Southwest...."Mr Hastert, in accordance with our policies, you'll need to purchase a second seat." :P
