In spite of this incident (where he was clearly flying foolishly and with disregard to NOTAMS) Inhofe has been a good friend to general aviation. Just because he acted inappropriately doesn't mean he's not correct about an overreaching government bureaucracy like the FAA. There can be no dispute that the FAA often acts capriciously and in a heavy handed manner, as do many other government agencies (how about the TSA?). It would be nice for the public to have some common sense protections against all these guys, in my opinion.
