ADIZ? CBS? The Waking Nightmare That Is The C150?

Okay, enough with those cheery holiday sentiments and rosy predictions that 2006 will be the bestest year EVER. Deep down, we know you're afraid... and the Aero-News staff would like to know what YOU most fear the upcoming year will bring to the world of aviation, by telling us in our Aero-Survey located at the bottom-right corner of our Top News page.

Are you most afraid that tumorous, ever-expanding ADIZs will choke the very air we fly in... and breathe? Or does the idea of user fees ranging from landing charges, to fuel taxes, to pay toilets at all FBOs (er, scratch that... we don't want to give them any ideas) make you cringe in horror?

Do you awaken at night in a cold sweat, for fear that CBS and its unholy brethren will continue their quest to slay the dreaded beast of general aviation? (Through an intricately clever plot involving Andy Rooney's repeated attempts to infiltrate your local airport, combined with never-ending coverage of today's latest landing-gear-related emergency.)

Or (and as of this writing, this is the most feared scenario by nearly 2 to 1) do you most fear that right now, someone... somewhere... somehow... is aiming a Cessna 150 right at YOU and the ones you love?

It's OK... it's gonna be, OK.

Take a moment and tell us what you fear. It will make you feel better, and you'll then have the chance to see what your fellow readers fear the most, too. Remember: there's strength in numbers, and the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
