You care to explain how General Aviation aircraft are "death traps?"
Wait, Larry is ready to go to the mat to defend his chosen love? Who woulda thought. Mechanical things break, reliably (look, me make funny). In the case of auto usage, at least one was aware of the danger when one set out on the road and is dealing with other vehicles on the same plane. When a small plane overshoots a runway, it can land on people minding their own business and with calamitous results.

I sorta doubt my one man campaign will ban small aircraft but I speak the truth when I say that one small plane can noise up a neighborhood far more effectively than 20 Harleys. Oh but hey, that pilot has a right to noise up that neighborhood, mister!
