J's Bird Home PageThis site is dedicated to "J's Bird", a Harvard Mk 4 flown in Georgia. Here you'll find some T6/Harvard/SNJ history, some pictures of shows attended, a schedule of shows were attendance is planned, and some other items of interest concerning flying old airplanes around Atlanta, GA. Well, the TSA seems to have gotten beat about the head and shoulders by Congress over LASP. They are presently working with the alphabet soup to get a new, improved NPRM out with the associated comment period, etc. While, ideally, it should all go away reference the DHS IG report that says GA isn't an issue -- that probably won't happen. Meanwhile there's SD-8G, which is classified and we can't tell you even which airports it applies to, but, you will comply... This has been taking a lot of my time, but I'm still flying J's Bird some and see below for more TSA buffoonery. See www.stoplasp.com

| What's New! Did some rides at DAY in the Mustang, missed Ocala for work issues and will probably just get myself out to Midland to help with the FAST Clinic and may be a few close by shows this year. |
Now that LASP is sorta under control, a new threat arises: SD-8G. Now, at certain airports in the country (the list is classified and an incorrect one was published about a week and a half after the Directive went into effect -- probably dis-information to confuse the terrorists, or the TSA, whichever) Don goes or you fly, you won't be allowed out of your aircraft until escorted (hope you didn't land to go pee). You won't be allowed BACK to your aircraft unless escorted. If you're hangared at certain airports you'll need a SIDA badge which may entail getting DIFFERENT badges (a guy in BHM had to get three because of his hangar's locations). You pay for all of this. Your guests and passengers won't be allowed to the aircrat unless escorted, and you are authorized to do that. I haven't seen anything about your kids, but I assume you can't escort them either and they'll need a fingerprinted background check like you. They asked, so here it is: A great website for the airshow industry, excellent photography and lots of news about who's where and doing what:
