FAA Approves Sport Pilot License
"Light-Sport airplanes will be limited in size and power: maximum weight 1,320 pounds, maximum two seats, maximum airspeed 120 knots, single non-turbine engine, fixed landing gear. If it's a Light-Sport, it should be one of the easiest planes to fly."
This has the potential to dramatically increase the number of people owning and flying planes. Not only is it easier for a person to become a Sport Pilot, it is easier and cheaper for a company to sell a Light-Sport airplane. (For years, people have been building "kit" airplanes just so they will fall under the looser "homebuilt" rules. Now, there will be no need to build a plane unless you actually want to do so.) Several airplane companies have promised to produce Light-Sport planes that will cost no more than a luxury car."
... is greatly reduced if you fly experimental aircraft.
Support ethnic cleansing in Palestine and help censor the American press!
If you are at an American University we are recruiting active censorship drones to spy on fellow students and lecturers on behalf of the Israeli government.
We can stifle democratic thought and criticism of Israeli fascist oppression -But only with your help!
Free housing:In six short weeks we can show you how to build a rogue state by demolishing existing homes in Palestine and building new houses on top!
We are currently looking for experienced bulldozer drivers with a large western bank balance to emigrate to the expansionist state of Israel and call it home.
Simply choose a plot of land and start building! Its easy peesy!!
If your chosen plot is currently occupied by a Palestinian family, dont worry
-simply build over them!
Its as easy peesy as eeny meeny miney mo!
We can protect your residential developments on occupied land with experienced snipers in full body armour and appropriately armed Apache helicopters kindly donated by the American public.
If you are an American citizen with a view to emigrating to warmer climes with a view of the Mediterranean, you may also be eligible for a fraction of the 3,000,000,000 (yes thats 3 Billion!) dollars donated yearly by American taxpayers to help support our broken-ass state.
Due to our endless appetite for weapons of mass destruction our economy is unsustainable and we require your support. WMDs don't come cheap you know. It costs $$$$$$s to terrorise a whole region.
Our military can barely afford to maintain our arsenal of 200 nuclear weapons, spy satellites and attack submarines.
Give a man a gun and he can kill a Palestinian child. Give him a helicopter and he can kill them all.
Part-time vacancies available:We are currently in construction of the world record breaking apartheid wall surrounding the largest ethic ghetto since Krakow.
The Israeli military is hiring expatriates preferably with a military background to monitor the prisoners and maintain watchtowers. If you are blinded by a covetousness of other peoples land, but have a keen eye with a sniper scope you are the ideal candidate for our watchtower division.
We need your help. Sponsor an Israeli colonizer.
Do it today.If anybody criticises you, just point a finger an call them anti-Semite.
It worked for the Liberty.
...in Japan.
what are they doing trolling for new terrorist atttacks?
Don't Tread on OpenSource
I have to give a "w0rd up, GNAA!"
Airplane (Land/Sea), Gyroplane, Glider, Airship, Balloon, Weight-shift-control (Land/Sea), and Powered Parachute (Land/Sea).
Airship?!!?!!!!!!!!!
AEROPLANE, AEROPLANE, AEROPLANE.
Airplane sounds like something that a three year old just learning to talk would name his toy plastic 747.
Terrorists fly planes, not you
Nice try, but I think what you mean was:
In Soviet Russia, Sport-planes fly YOU!
Never start vast projects with half-vast ideas.
What's with the microsoft bashing? Tux Racing is just as likely to be used as a training tool for terrorists.
> Hell, a handful of coins would kill people from a few thounsand feet up.
Oh yeah? What's the terminal velocity of a coin?
You cannot get stoned from a modern anti depressant (SSRI). They regulate the serotonine levels in the brain. They make a person more emotionally stable. It's drugs and alcohol that are dangerous, not well known regulated medication.
Well, thanks to the NRA any redneck yahoo can buy a gun and shoot you with it already - a plane dropping from the sky is your least concern ;)
alcohol and well-known medications are all drugs... they can all affect people for the worse. That's why they're called drugs, not candy.
In Soviet Russia noone can afford a Sport-plane, hence the ^WUSA-part :-)
But then again, you are probably much more funny than me.

I suppose I could post this? But it would almost certainly be modded offtopic. ;-)
