how much did his jet trip cost the taxpayers?! This is a complete and utter waste of hard earned dollars! Oh wait, he pays for this himself out of his own income? What a concept? He excercised his freedom to come and go as he pleases?
I suppose the enviro weenies will be complaining at me when they find out I run errands in an SUV. Not only for using the SUV, but having the freedom to run my errands must annoy them too.
Too much CO2 in the blood makes people goofy and acidotic. Maybe liberals smoke Co2?
Really?? Are In-n-Out burger joints better where you are? The few time’s I’ve tried their burgers I found them sorely lacking.
When libs attack libs. Where’s the popcorn?
“Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating a hamburger stand is approximately three thousand, seven hundred twenty to one!”
Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association launched a lobbying campaign promoting general aviation, there was no caucus to tap. So association officials did the next best thing: They helped build one.
The House General Aviation Caucus was formed in April by Reps. Allen Boyd (D-Fla.) and Vernon Ehlers (R-Mich.) and now boasts about 50 members.
“As a pilot, I have seen firsthand the critical role that general aviation plays in creating jobs and bolstering the local economy in rural communities across America,” Boyd said. “This bipartisan caucus is an important tool for raising awareness of general aviation, and I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress to keep general aviation strong.”

" The group intends to keep up the public drumbeat. In addition to landinHarrison Ford for its commercials, it just snagged Morgan Freeman"
Ford had been very vocal on the Obama Administration inviting job loss to small business pleasure pilots, airports etc through reckless rehtoric in proposed replacing aviation excise taxes with user fees, costing aircraft owners an estimated $9 billion a year. This among the other evils of climate abuse while the politicians themselves quietly slipped into their aircraft of choice and "tripped" across the country and around the world.
Well, he did travel all the way from Hoth to Bespin just to get away from that bounty hunter.
I thought that was a little excessive...
I fly my RV 6 A around the state of Florida all the time to go for breakfast or lunch at various airports.
It is called the hundred dollar cheesburger.
I fly at 150 M.P.H. and use 4.5 gallons of 100LL av gas to do it.
UMMMMM good.
More than one.
The Big Kahuna burger was my first thought too! Great minds think alike I guess.
I think the flew a rescue mission in the Millennium Falcon to rescue a princess of some kind back in the 70's.
There may be others, but thats the one that comes to mind.
Bingo
Maybe he really does need to get out of town to have a cheeseburger.
Or maybe he just tells her that when he wants to get away from her.
Wow. Almost every woman's dream.
Imagine her seeing Harrison Ford as her rescuer.
What?? :)
I have a whole new respect for Harrison now!

He rescued a Boy Scout and a hiker. It’s in the thread.
That is kind of weird if you think about it. Someone suffering from altitude sickness and dehydration would think that they where hallucinating during a Harrison Ford helicopter rescue.
