Good military protection is provided by missiles and satellite observation - why are we still paying for the much slower jet reconnaissance crap? They are too slow to change anything! Far too many passenger flights are under booked. If a plane is used at all, it must have high occupancy. Fewer flights due to high oil prices will force this efficiency upon us, and only a few uber-rich oil barons will be able to afford private jets. We will pay with a fallen economy if we don't smarten up and improve our efficiency and stop wasting the precious little oil thqt is left, pretending we are at war or pretending we are more important than the whole of society!

I remember a funny occasion when the Blue Angels were performing in Seattle and I didn't know about it. They flew right over my house, which was all the closer to them for being on a hill. I nearly wet myself. Those things make a lot of noise! Also, San Francisco is considering banning them as well. Think what might happen if there were an air collision over downtown. It would endanger a lot of people. Here in South Korea, I think we're a long way away from such legislation. It's pretty common to see fighter jets thundering through town. This is really good.
