I think, personally, that the "powers that be" are more than just a little trigger happy. Today's incident proves it.

Now, the dumbass that entered that airspace in his 150 should have his license revoked. He could potentially ruin GA as we know it today. Along with the authority of being PIC comes the responsibility.

It's certainly is a different environment we're living in today.

Ok, WTFO? Not only was this thread from 2002 resurrected, but the dude who made it responded in 2005. Weird night.

So why not just order it to turn around and land at ATL to have the transponder replaced? Did it really need a fighter escort when it was 15 minutes outside of ATL?

I could understand if the box failed inside the ADIZ or something...

gk,

All these "recent" escorts back, makes you wonder huh?!
 
Yeah, someone responded today, and I got the E-mail, so I read it and responded. Talking about, "hold that thought one..."
 
Three years later, and

I'm still right.

Hmmmm...Delta flight gets an escort and a 152 gets an escort?

I wonder what's going on? Seems like they are a little jumpy lately, do you think they are on to something they are not telling us about?
