Big article in the local news paper about all the ultralight/LS/Experimental accidents in the area. Interesting the paper version said "smaller aircraft" but online it was "ultralight". They interviewed a mechanic and GA owner at the Manatee airport here in Florida who seemed to have a real grudge against anything that wasn't general aviation. The article was surprisingly accurate, biased but accurate for a news paper. Just a few errors.

Makes me think about interacting with the GA guys a my airport in Michigan. I think I have been accepted but it only takes one when a reporter wants to make a name for himself.
Oh yes to keep it Kolb I haven't flown my Kolb since I left Michigan in October. Getting worked up to do a bunch of flying when I get back.

Note the last line? "Fuel Issues".

They have this "my airplane is bigger and more expensive than your airplane complex". Most of the GA pilots at our local airport, 08A, never fly, and if they do, it is around the patch. |

Another slow news day one day later but this time good. In the first link a local columnists in the same paper said no need to regulate........
http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20130130/COLUMNIST/130139968/2256/NEWS?Title=Lyons-No-need-to-regulate-risky-behavior
In the columnist's blog site a knowledgeable pilot shared his viewpoint very good but unfortunately few will see it.
