----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Alan, Ken Good idea (first in a while for this group) I know that FBO's flight instructors will not get any of the bail-out money. Many Houston area aviation business are in serious trouble with the week of rain then the grounding. I am very close to haveing to sell my coupe, probably at a fire sale price so that I can pay my bills. The airport where the coupe is based is also not doing very well at the moment nor is the airport that I teach at. I have heard of a couple of airports and FBO's that have recieved offers in the past and they are seriously thinking of selling. If these airports and business close who will train the pilots that are needed to replace the retiring pilots? The whole aviation industry is in extremly critical condition and will die if something is not done in the very near future. Larry ----- Original Message -----

Your idea of a pattern transponder code is a good idea. I doubt that the flight instructors, FBO's, and agriculture pilots are going to get any of the bail-out money being contemplated for the airlines--and that's a real shame.

That at least makes sense. I think it would also make sense to allow VFR flights around the pattern at airports where flight schools could at least teach takeoffs and landings.... A special transponder code for this would always be beneficial even when this returns to normal. (I propose 1201. If it happens I thought of it first) Alan Fairclough N87333 ------=extPart_000_0103_01C1408F.079E4B40-- ==^================================================================ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiLm.aVzvvT Or send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================ ------=extPart_000_000F_01C14090.B0F37CA0--
