Hi Leslie,
Thanks for putting my feelings into words. I couldn't have said it
better, even if I tried.
I never did think that 'big brother' needed to know anything about
my
business that I didn't choose to tell him!
As long as I'm 'legal', why not just leave me alone and stop
threatening and harassing me? Sure, I'll 'show' him my license and
medical, they're current or I wouldn't be there. I'm not stupid!
I don't even have a radio, so I obviously won't be landing at any
controlled airports, but I might 'drop in' to an occasional grass strip
to visit a friend. :-)
