Other Side of the ADIZ Fight
As of Friday, over 11,000 people had voiced their opinion of the FAA regarding the Washington ADIZ. I’ve scanned through a couple dozen of the comments and didn’t see one post supporting the ADIZ. This wasn’t a surprise.
What was a surprise was coming across a post supporting the ADIZ… and the post was written by a pilot. In the post he basically says that the reason AOPA is fighting this is because of the close proximity of their headquarters to the ADIZ.
The evidence he offers is that some time ago there was a debate about a proposed airspace change on the North Carolina coast that didn’t result in the same amount of AOPA pressure. Here is an excerpt of his post.
This means to take off from Fredricksburg in VFR conditions without filing a flight plan one would have the inconvenience of having to fly around the restricted airspace, or to fly through it, file a flight plan…. This whole push against the flight restrictions stinks of self interest of AOPA and especially it’s President. Mr Phil Boyer has been president of AOPA for the past 15 years. I think he has FDR beat as far as years in office, and I am wondering if he is taking Sadaam’s lead and appointing himself President for life
So what do you think of his argument? You may wish to comment both here and on the other blog mentioned.
