Others are jumping on The Messiah for this, but I doubt it&#8217;s His fault. When He goes anywhere now there is an absurd, 10-mile radius no-fly zone installed. When the center of that zone is downtown San Francisco a lot of businesses get hurt, like my home FBO, Oakland Flyers.</p>
<p>Jim Gray, the owner of the club, is not taking it lying down. <a href="http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/east_bay&amp;id=7067418&amp;rss=rss-kgo-article-7067418" target="_blank">He is sending Dear Leader and the DNC a bill for the club&#8217;s losses while the planes are grounded.</a></p>
<p>Good for Jim.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a reasonable need for security, of course. But General Aviation aircraft are really not much of a threat, and this kind of thing is overkill. Pity the poor pilots near presidential retreats during vacations. They get shut down for weeks at a time. It&#8217;s stupid.</p>
