Lance also got into trouble for flying under a bridge although his friend an FAA Examiner gave him a warning, If you ever try anything like that again, I'll have you thrown in jail, now get the hell out of here!. During this time Lance also became involved in motorcycle street racing, the speed did not bother him much, so he did quite well. Lance was looking to take all his knowledge and bring it to the market on a big scale starting in California and then the Sun Belt States and eventually into Europe.

Young Men Trying to Imitate the 9-11 Scenario, Part II
We will see more computer related accidents in the next several years until their technology is improved and we are forced to re-align our training methods to include flying the plane. An issue I have currently with the newest pilots coming on board at airlines, who cannot really fly an airplane. How could they understand what it means to fly? They are ground lovers. People who fly think more three demisional, like those who build train sets and run them around their display.

Young Men Trying to Imitate the 9-11 Scenario, Part III
Less people flying their own planes thus less people to take him up. The act of crashing an airplane into a building is not excusable, but it is a sign that something is terribly wrong here, and not just in the mind of a young man who upset at the world for total disregard of the individual. Insurance went up thus costing more to fly a plane for an hour. We made airport restrictions on general aviation hurting the boy's chances to get another free airplane ride in now and again.

General Aviation Manufacturing is in the Tank; Hang On It is Going to Get Worse
Just as Airbus was able to take over 50% of the market share from Boeing after the MacDonald Douglas merger, India will take it's chunk of the UAV and private plane market and eventually divide further the airliner manufacturing sector.

In America we no longer mine our own raw materials, Iron Ore mines cannot stay in business due to regulations and restrictions, same goes for Gold Mines, Copper, etc. BMW in the US is running into similar issues as are all auto manufacturers as they use Franchised Car Dealerships as a business model. The franchising industry is completely over regulated as well.
