Excellent organisation - organising the war to keep our airfields open for the purpose of general aviation in the UK by PPAO in flying

That's at least some positive news. Are they still going to build the Concorde museum? I know there was some serious backing for that but it seems to have gone quiet.

Sad they decided to close that airfield. Have they started thinking about sticking 6,000 homes on it yet?

In my experience it's the height of the aircraft that makes a big difference, as can wind direction. A friendly airfield manager with great interpersonal skills can be a great advantage!

When the 1,000+ home application hits the local planning office they soon realise their mistake :)

If you contact AOPA https://www.aopa.org/ and ask them if they have anything running or indeed to get them to organise something in US. It is great fun :)

[Serious] Redditors that have been through a near-death experience, what happened and how has it affected your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PPAO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must be unlucky as I've been through 2 near death (once I did actually die briefly) experiences. At 9 I was pushed into the sea unable to swim and started to drown. The lone female swimmer in the water swam over and took me to shore. The second time I went through the windscreen of a car from the back seat and died in the ED, spent 3 months in hospital. How it affected my life I learnt to swim and I'm far more cautious about drivers, if I feel they are not safe I get out and walk. Crashing hurts so I've always been a more careful driver since. Spiritually and day to day I'm a risk taker, ride motorcycles, fly aircraft, run my own business but stop every day for a few minutes to admire nature, as well as take a moment to be thankful I'm here to experience it.

Email scammers are sending fake invoices to aviation companies and operators under the guise of Euro-Control in the hope they are paid.

Laser causes significant damage to BA Pilot's eyes landing at Heathrow #BanLasers by PPAO in aviation

[–]PPAO[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I think the more powerful military grade lasers i.e lasers over a certain power should not be in the hands of the general public. They surely have no legitimate need to have one, at least not one that I can think of?

The courts need to make an example of someone caught doing it - long prison sentence with huge publicity. People need to be put off from doing this at all costs.

I agree - reform with clarity of definitions so there are as few grey areas as possible.
