How willfully ignorant can you be at this point? There are videos available showing the man politely telling these "security officers" that he would not be deplaning as he is rightfully in the seat. No yelling or anything.

I take it you haven't seen the videos that have since been posted showing the man being very polite before being brutalized by airport security. The man was not obnoxious in the slightest. He simply refused to give up his seat as he had already boarded.

You're literally commenting on an article about the Obama administration fighting FOR GA and trying to blame this on Obama. SMH.. there's nothing you can't figure out some way to blame on Obama. Seriously, this is the Obama administration telling Santa Monica that they're not going to get their way and that the airport is staying open. But sure, it's Obama's fault.

The bad design is the fact that they didn't implement it in a way that minimized or eliminated the noise in the cabin. It makes passengers uncomfortable, whether because they don't understand what the noise is and think something is going wrong, or just because they're annoyed by the annoying sound. Old tech or new tech, Airbus could have done a better job of designing the system.

What about the sound that continues for a few minutes in to the flight? That annoying sound is the first reason I avoid A320 flights when I have a choice. It's just bad design on Airbus's part to subject passengers to that noise (especially when Boeing manages to not have that noise in the 737.

Glad I got to visit the Spruce Goose this summer. I did the "VIP" tour that allowed me to sit in the same seat that Howard Hughes piloted the plane from on its only flight. What an amazing moment. Hopefully, the museum won't be shut down and liquidated.

Ah, and I see that you're now copy/pasting replies to yourself now.

There's no easy answer for this issue. Anything placed in front of the intake will, by design be more restrictive than the completely open design currently in place. Maybe put some blades to slice the bird up in to pieces that are less likely to hurt the engine?

They had to do the same thing for a Biden appearance in Tallahassee a couple months ago. AF2 had a windshield crack on landing. Two G3s were flown in for Biden and staff. Those that didn't fit had to fly commercial. The plane was kept at KTLH for two days for repairs.

How many user names do you have to spout off your ridiculous crap? Go look at the stats. Obama has used Air Force One significantly less than his predecessor as well as having spent much less time on vacation.
