It's about time. Flying is a privilege, not a right. Nail a few of these idiots with fines and flight bans for life and maybe the rest will learn. They can always drive their on car or walk to their destinations, but they should be limited from public transportation for life except for that last trip to the grave yard!
On advantage of being hard of hearing is that one can remove the hearing aids and tune out the noise. For those of you who don't want to listen to the noise, I suggest you sit farther away or just turn off your brain which apparently some have already done.
Anyone in or around Edwards (I was in Barstow) in the late 60s or 70s heard the BOOM often. I had just returned from Vietnam, stepping out of my building at lunch one day, when BOOM!! I hit the deck and was trying to figure how to crawl under my car when I realized what had happened. From then on, I enjoyed the sound of "Freedom".
More recently, the POTUS was visiting Seattle when some yardbird out of Chelan without the latest notems, penetrated the prohibited airspace. Two F-15s were scrambled out of Portland, went over Tacoma at Mach 1+ on the way to the intercept. BOOM, BOOM! No harm,no foul
So our friends in Kansas are in for a treat!
