They should've just listed the acceptable aircraft. The list would've been shorter.

I find it quite incredible that a Connie and B17 should be excluded. Ditto the MS Paris which I flew a few times in the 70s and which was not unduly noisy either inside or out

Hi Guys

What Pxxxes me off about that is i bet they are all still driving their Gas Guzzling SUVs & old Tanks around.

But they don't like a bit of noise.

Regards
Rick

Really simple answer to this actually

All those wonderful rich left wing movie stars live adjacent to the Flight path in and out of SMO - course they DONT mind flying into YOUR town at 3am in that G5 or GlobalExpress - but dont come waking them up in the middle of the day. And Rick Yep they all have SUVs (Hummers and Escalades mostly)
Personally Im so bloody tired of the the Republic of California and all its 'rules" and now they are all coming to Vegas and trying to make the same things happen here

Off my soap box now

I'm confused now... I know there are some film stars who have leftie views, Julia Roberts being one of them, but at the same time, I thought California was governed by Arnie, who is Republican? :think:

Interesting that they list the North American B-17 on there list of banned aircraft, would the Boeing B-17's be ok?

What a weird list.

Do they often get Jet Provosts, Sea Vixens and EE Lightnings wanting to land there?
