I have a feeling you won't be seeing him for a long time.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. He talked about doing this and we had the same reaction you always have to people who say they're going to land their gyrocopter on the whitehouse lawn as part of a political statement. You're full of shit. I guess he wasn't full of shit.

He should consider himself lucky that he's not full of lead.

Somebody somewhere is going to get their ass chewed out for not including "Gyrocopter Attacks" in the Washington D.C. defense plans. I mean, this should have been fairly obvious ever since PilotWings 64 hit the shelves.

He may be an asshole but I'll give him props for sticking to his principles.

That's disputable. There are better ways to do it. Yes, he stuck to his guns on it, but now anything he says is going to be tainted as being the opinion of a lunatic. The outcome of it will be rendered ineffective.

That's also disputable, he was able to garner national attention to his letter that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. If he stood outside of congress he'd probably not even make the local paper.

He also is willing to accept the consequences of his actions and he knows full well what could happen to him.

Will this change anything? Who knows, but it started a conversation on campaign finance reform at least.

No. He will only be remembered as that nut that flew a gyrocopter onto the steps of congress. The content of whatever he was delivering will be overshadowed by that. I wish it weren't show, I like a good bit of showmanship, but it's just not how things work up there.
