Other than the pilots? It's lead in the air. It needs to stop. I don't give a rat's ass if you can't do your favorite hobby anymore. Tough shit.
This. Fix your goddamned plane then you can fly. It's pretty simple.

Give me $250,000 and I'll do it. Don't give me your unfunded mandate.

Not my problem. Planes putting lead in the air is.

Pilots didn't put the lead in the gas.

Who. Cares?

How about holding those responsible, responsible for a change? And that ain't us.
|

Not holding you responsible
But that doesn't mean you should be flying around putting lead in the air. It's pretty simple. Your hobby Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

Tell you what.
You park your car until that "safety stuff" is worked out. After all, that *kills* around 100 people a *day*. 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? |

You don't need to fly a hobby plane for the helicopters to fly.

They are GA aircraft and a lot of them burn the same fuel.
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. http://prsync.com/cobb-medicaid-transportation/air-ambulance-aircraft-your-choices-for-medical-transportation-867148/ HTH. I LOVE IT when non-pilots talk about aviation as though they possess some thorough knowledge. We *should* ground these bastards, too, amirite? http://www.angelflight.com/ |

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. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

You should see the pictures in the living room from that era. Shag carpeting, mod furniture. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

Omfg. 167k out of 300+ million
Gimme 250k for my hobby or I will keep poisoning you. Wow. You are part of the less than 1%. Your right to swing your arm is limited at the point it hits my face. You lose. Hope they ground you. Overweight? Gone. Sleep apnea? Gone. Say something stupid on the Web? Gone. |
|
Your math is as bad as the rest of you. 167K aircraft != 167K people. HTH.
|
|
Do you timeshare your craft?
|
|
Flight Club. Heard of them? Of course not. You're out of your depth.
|
|
And I find it interesting the point you picked
You don't want to be part of the elite. Fine. How many people does it need to affect (effect?, f'it) until the base point of a small minority poisoning the majority is ok? |

For a communist he's a pretty entitled SOB at times.

I earned it. ;0)
You know, "to each according to his need" and all that. |

Only in theory!
In practice the top 3% do OK, the bottom 97% get subsistence. And the top, all party members, contributes next to nothing.

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |

I don't think the amount contributed by the top is limited to communist societies. ;0)
|

No argument there. But, it's that communism is not a solution.

MMoffitt's Communisim explained . . .
. . . 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. |
