You can fly. It's not the flying that's the problem.

In the fixed-wing aircraft group, airplanes perform a number of medical evacuation, flights, or medevac. Piston engine aircraft perform a substantial quantity of these medical transportation flights. Piston-driven airplanes possess the advantages of greater speed and range than most choppers. Additionally, piston-powered airplanes are often able enough to control from runways that are very short, providing entry to the vast majority of airports.

HTH.

I LOVE IT when non-pilots talk about aviation as though they possess some thorough knowledge.

. . . by a Polish Joke (actually from Poland).

A Polish peasant with a pig over his shoulders is entering the agricultural fairgrounds. He spots a Communist Party recruiting table.

Peasant: "Oh, I've heard there are a lot of advantages to being a member of the Party - it's a really good thing".
Recruiter: "Yes, many advantages. Your social status is improved, you learn a lot, and all your needs are taken care of".
Peasant: "That sounds really good, I'd like to join".
Recruiter: There are some requirements to qualify as a party member, because under Communism all property is shared".
Peasant: "Ok, that sounds good!".
Recruiter: So, are you willing to donate your house, your property and your bank accounts to the Communist Party?".
Peasant: "Well yes, I would, if being a member is so good".
Recruiter: OK then, lets get started with the paperwork, then you sign it and we submit it to the party for acceptance".
Peasant: "Great!"
Recruiter: "Oh, one more thing, that pig on your shoulders, you will need to donate that pig to the Communist party".
Peasant: "What? The pig? Ummm, ummmm, I don't know . . . The pig?".
Recruiter: "What's holding you up about that pig? You've already agreed to donate your home, lands, bank accounts and other property to the Party. Why are you sticking at the pig?".
Peasant: "Well . . . the pig I've got".

Back in the days when Americans were telling Polish Jokes, the Poles had two kinds of jokes: Communist Party jokes and Ukrainian jokes.

If you're really concerned about the well being of the masses, eliminating driving an automobile will reduce their likelihood of ill effects vastly more than ending GA ever will. And let's not forget about the GA that involves piston helicopter medical evacuation. Fuck them. You get hit by a car and the only available aircraft to airlift you to a regional health center burns AvGas, you die. You good with that too?

Post #413,210 by malraux 8/30/16 12:15:28 PM 8/30/16 12:15:28 PM Reply	YOU don't need to fly a hobby plane. The emergency aircraft can still fly while you sit on the ground. This has fuck all to do with type of aircraft; I mentioned helicopters because you did. The emergency aircraft can also get their engines upgraded. FYI: both of my parents have their licenses. I grew up in GA planes and reading my dad's instruction manuals. I know the difference between VFR and IFR and I can plot a VOR course. Piss off with your elitist attitude you entitled ass.

And the top, all party members, contributes next to nothing. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.
