If It Can Be Brought Down By A Kite...

...Can We All Agree The C-150 Is NOT A Terror Threat?

Editor's Note: When basing a story off an FAA Preliminary Report, we usually give a brief synopsis on essential points of the story. Sometimes, however... we can't think of any better way to present the tale... than to let the report stand on its own.

It is perhaps fitting, though, that this incident -- that thankfully resulted in no injuries -- occurred on the day of the final public hearings on the ADIZ. May this be an example to those who fear the Aerobat.

Thanks to ANN's Aero-Craft expert, Tom Turner, for sending this along. (Tom asks if this could have possibly been the work of "Al-Kite-A.")
