whodat is just another loser that failed to get his pilot’s license becaue it scared the snot out of him and now he is anti general aviation. He thinks all pilots are “cocky arrogant bastards” and desires to see them suffer. He’s just a cowardly loser.
“And they have paid enough taxes to more than build every damn inch of the interstate highway system.”
No, they haven’t. You’re just a lying sack of sh*t and throw out emotional garbage because you hate pilots. Coward.
I was beginning to arrive at the conclusion. Thanks for the info.
What I hate is a liar like you that says such things out of spite, hatred, and jealousy. Go learn to fly instead of being a pussy and wishing you had.
