I agree the ADIZ should be dropped. Once you form homeland security and ADIZ zones, I think it is hard to get rid of them. Each new department of the government creates lots of new jobs. Needed or not, to get rid of a government department is stepping on someone’s toes. These people in homeland […]

I’ll bet you’re glad you printed Lisa Kondrick’s article about our trip to OSH (Time to get outta Dodge, Sept. 9 issue). I’m sitting back enjoying all of the comments. I am also puzzled by some things though. The comments in the article were clearly referring to the EAA and its policy of allowing large […]

In regard to Morrie Caudill’s letter in the Jan. 6 issue (Third class medical is no parachute): Apparently you didn’t understand my letter. First, you are incorrect in that agents and brokers have no profit-loss responsibility to any insurer. That is the insurer’s responsibility. I am an insurance broker and work for my customer to […]

Your write-up on page 39 in the Dec. 16 issue (Endangered no more: Threatened airports survived 2005) could lead one to believe that all’s well that ends well. The Flying Y Airport in Livingston, Mont., did survive and that is good. Problem is that this came with a price.  It took over $50,000 in legal fees out […]

I believe that JT Helms is missing the point that the medical standards for the Sport Pilot license are LESS than for the third class aviation medical just as the standards for third class are less than the second class (which is less than for a first class) (Could medical kill Sport Pilot? Dec. 2 […]

I very much enjoy GANews. Keep up the good work! In your Dec. 2, 2005, issue, you published a letter, “Could medical kill Sport Pilot?” in response to Amelia T. Reiheld’s article titled, “Pilots still frustrated by Sport Pilot medical,” which appeared in the Oct. 21, 2005, issue. I would like to counter several points […]

You are to be commended for having the guts to say what needed to be said in your Straight & Level of the December issue (False perceptions of danger: This is a free country, isn’t it?). I am sick and tired of people who have no knowledge of an activity telling me what I should […]

I read your article on user fees revisited (Headwinds, December 2005). I also agree that user fees are ridiculous. One comment I have is Creationism is not intelligent design, but one type of of intelligent design among others. For instance, some people believe aliens created life — that is also intelligent design. I have a […]

Regarding your editorial on fraidy cats in the January issue (Climate change: Fraidy cats in the home of the brave): AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! I wish I had written it! Michael Brewer Birmingham
