Canton Plymouth Mettetal 1d2 clowns really believe they are “above the law” and can do whatever they want whenever they want and continue to give the surrounding communities the big middle finger!

The State of Michigan (SoM), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and of course the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) does not seem to care or can’t control anything at this airstrip. What a complete waste of taxpayer dollars. There is zero sense of urgency, Michigan residents deserve better!

Some people don’t know what ‘flybys’ are, and some don’t believe that clowns at Unattended Airstrips like  Canton Plymouth Mettetal 1d2 use this childish practice.

Michigan pilot gives a literal ‘F U’ to governor Gretchen Whitmer over coronavirus lockdown

Flight path literally curses Michigan governor over coronavirus lockdown, May 1, 2020 (html) | New York Post. This frustrated Michigan pilot gives a literal flying you-know-what about his States governor. “I don’t need the government to wipe my tushie every two minutes.” This appears to be typical behavior for many clowns, including MDOT, in Michigan: “Let me know what the problems are going to be and let me know what the ramifications are; I’m responsible for myself.”

Pilot spells out ‘FU’ to Governor Gretchen Whitmer over skies of Michigan, 2 May 2020 (html) | Daily Mail Online.

MDOT Third Party Contractor Clown Slash Groundskeeper Doin’ What He Does Best at Canton Plymouth Mettetal 1d2 airstrip

First thing, get the State owned $35k lawnmower stuck in the mud. Second thing, burn out the State owned lawnmower engine. Third thing, get the State owned $200k CAT Front End Loader (FEL) to pull the State owned $35k lawnmower out of the mud. Fourth thing, illegally operate the State owned $200k CAT FEL with out proper Michigan LARA Heavy Equipment Operator certification & permits and then illegally operate the State owned CAT FEL on Public Roads during rush hour traffic! You can’t even make this stuff up! Michigan citizens are sick, tired & completely fed up with paying for this pure stupidity,  ignorance and complete waste of Michigan taxpayer money. Time to thank MDOT yet again for more of their continuing never ending Clown saga at Canton Plymouth Mettetal 1d2 airport.

How Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Aviation Works in Michigan

Michigan Congressional Delegation Lawmakers, want Delta’s request to stop Michigan flights grounded (html) | Detroit News – Airline argues that the few who are flying can drive to airports less than 75 miles away: Flint passengers can drive to Detroit, and those from Lansing and Kalamazoo can drive to Grand Rapids.

Congressional Research Service (html) – R44176 – Essential Air Service (EAS), Updated December 19, 2018 (pdf). The 70-Mile Rule and Measures to Shrink the Program. Over the years, Congress has sought to limit the scope of the EAS program, mostly by eliminating subsidy support for communities within a reasonable driving distance of a major hub airport and by imposing a cap on the per-passenger subsidy. Although numerous communities have been removed from the program, these efforts have generally failed to contain overall spending on EAS.

The Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2000 prohibited DOT from subsidizing carriers that provide EAS service to communities in the 48 states plus Puerto Rico that are located fewer than 70 highway miles from the nearest large or medium hub airport.

These measures are meant to protect Air Carriers AND taxpayers. Taxpayers ultimately get stuck footing the bill at the Local, State, and Federal level by design.

BTW: This would eliminate large amounts of Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) taxpayer waste for phony, misleading and fraudulent justification & support for airports & airstrips on life support that are absolutely NO LONGER required, and really never have been! Michigan taxpayers have been duped long enough.

The Wealthy at Canton Plymouth Mettetal 1d2 should have been using Willow Run (YIP) which is only seven miles away. MDOT has been duplicating facilities at 1d2 for over 25 years wasting taxpayer money at a staggering rate hidden from public view which will add to the largest total waste of taxpayer money in the History of Michigan!

Just remind yourself how messed things are and do a search using either major search engine:  “mdot lead poisoning” (html) – Google Search or “mdot lead poisoning” (html) – Bing. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) *IS* synonymous with “Lead Poisoning” period!

Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Aviation is Broken!

Plane crashes in Northern Michigan after ‘distracted’ pilot forgets landing gear, July 12, 2020 (html) – mlive.com.

Geese cited as possible cause of 2018 helicopter crash in Orchard Lake, July 18, 2020 (html) | Detroit News. The pilot told officials he recalled “quickly moving” the helicopter back to the right to avoid the birds, and that it was the last action he could remember. Police and fire officials found the helicopter on its side near the 5000 block of Pontiac Trail. Crews put out a small fire and pushed over the helicopter so they could remove the pilot, who was conscious.

Houston area pilot warned not to fly plane before fatal Detroit crash, Aug. 1, 2020 (html) | Detroit News. A Texas pilot was warned three times not to fly his airplane before it crashed in a Detroit neighborhood in 2018, killing him and his wife and severely injuring his son. The factual report by the National Transportation Safety Board also says the pilot reported running out of fuel while struggling to get his landing gear down as the single-engine Cessna P210N approached Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport on June 24. “The pilot told the mechanic that he had just purchased the airplane and that he could not afford to overhaul the engine,” the report states. “The mechanic then placed a red ‘Do Not Fly’ placard on the pilot-side yoke.” According to the report, a couple of weeks later, Boaz came back with another oil filter for the mechanic to inspect and told him he had “looked up on the internet” how to remove metal from an engine by flushing it with diesel fuel.” While there was no metal in the filter, “the mechanic again told the pilot that he should not fly the airplane until the engine had been overhauled.”

Yet another case of Maintenance, Airworthiness and Certification by internet consensus, happens all the time, especially by clowns at unsupervised uncontrolled airstrips like Canton Plymouth Mettetal 1d2.
