Aero-News Quote Of The Day (10.25.04)

"I'm sure I'll be hearing from some others, including the FAA." Source: Robert Hargrove of Wappinger Falls (NY) after he was intercepted and forced to land while flying through a presidential TFR in Florida on Saturday. As President Bush spoke to a crowd at Space Coast Stadium near Viera (FL), Hargrove's Aeronca Champ was intercepted by an F-16 patrolling the skies over the president's rally. The problem lay in the fact that the F-16 is so fast and the Aeronca is so slow. The F-16 pilot finally got Hargrove's attention by firing flares. Hargrove landed at Merritt Island Airport (FL), was questioned and eventually continued on to his destination in Boca Raton (FL).
