SHAME ON YOU !!
Ferris,
Is that right ? They have ways of dealing with 'pesky' light aircraft over there, (wherever that is).
They shoot them down with a SAM ?
Terrific, maybe we can arrange to bring that system in here and join the rest of the 'civilised' world.
You ought to be bloody ashamed to make such a stupid comment and if you think it was a bit funny then you have a sick sense of humour given the current aviation security issue.
It really is quite pathetic for you and many others to be putting forward the view that 'light' aircraft pilots are all cowboys weaving around the sky about to cause a mid air collision. Scaremongering doesn't serve any purpose.
We can be rest assured that the NAS in its early days will be monitered closely and maybe 'fine tuned' to ensure that safety is not unduly compromised.
In the meantime, let's see some sensible discussion and less intemperate language, (e.g. AOPA Idiots). Aviation is a tough industry as we know, we should all work together for its advancement.
