2- AP Enterprise: FAA loses track of 119,000 aircraft
I also just heard this same report on WJR during the AM talk news…
I just listened to my good friend Roy on his Light sport radio show talking about the FAA making every airplane be re-registered. The theory behind this is the FAA want to know where every aircraft is at, and making sure we are not using such aircraft to smuggle drugs and such.
I find it hard to believe me flying my little 60 mph 5 gallon of fuel one seater airplane from the middle of this country could ever smuggle anything in that plane, that could not be smuggled by ground just as easy, really easyer. My little plane does not have the range of say my jeep.
Am I the only one who has a problem with this? Then they say every three years we must reregister our planes. And the cost will be way more then you ever saw before. To keep up with all the staff they must hire to do all these reregistrations.
I would like to hear others views on this. I believe its time to sell all my planes and use my hangar for storage. Go visit sometime and think......REMEMBER WHEN.......
Now on later in the day I just read this article on the Drudge Report!
I’ve been wondering what the re-registration was all about. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
Jim Traficant used a small plane to sneak into the country once to show how porus our border is. He flew south over the western edge of lake superior, across Michigan and Wisconsin and was never questioned till he approached Chicago.
I’m not sure registraytion means much when they aren’t paying attention anyway.
It is bull and large burden for everyone who is a owner by making them re-register just to clean up a few irregularities. Why punish everyone when only a few records need to be updated?
