New AOPA should be all over this
Or they're not worth the membership fee.

I honestly believe the thing that probably killed Mike Dukakis's bid for presidency was his statement that commercial aviation should receive preferential treatment to general aviation and how "first come first served" wasn't fair to the airline companies wrt runway use.

But yeah - this has nothing to do with homeland security. If it makes you feel any better - skydiving was suspended too.

And I don't feel any better about things since you can't exercise your right to foolishly step out of a perfectly functioning airplane ;-)

There's plenty of sky for all of us and we're definitely in this together!

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
