The pilot stopped to short . Maybe he didn't have the heart or funds to follow through with a suit against the local sheriff. Maybe he was coerced or threatened. AOPA or some large association should really check this out. This may not be the first time this authority has overstepped their Jurisdiction. May need their wings clipped and fed a diet of reality. A hit to the wallet Would be a healthy place to start.
I don't know whether or not corporate aviation has killed GA or not. I do know that our liberal, litigious democrat, government " can do it better " than private enterprise has set prices skyrocketing. Subtract the cost of product liability insurance ( thank you trial lawyers), outdated requirements placed on mfg's to bring out new products, reams and reams of laws, regulations has made GA a very expensive pastime. Now with the environmentalists wanting to outlaw 100LL (again thank you liberals) where will all this end? I wish that someone would actually give a damn about the little guy but I Am not holding my breath waiting for relief . Oh and by the way news in today's paper says the Obama administration wants to close our control tower. Does anyone care?
