REFLECTOR: Hmmmmm

[Alex Balic]

What is with that idiot reporter that kept mentioning that "all you need is
an internet connection and some money and you can have a plane that is built
in your back yard" he must have said that 3 times- at least they had the
RV-10 builder in there for some balance- And I am pretty sure that that
airport was there before the housing development, so really, the pilots
should all be complaining that all of the houses are making it unsafe for
them to operate their aircraft.

I saw the news show too.

I mix of facts and yellow journalism.  Problem is most folks aren't
knowlwdgable enough the sift out the bull but the facts tend to lend
credence to the whole story.

TV news SOP.
