Hi All,
First let me touch on this HPA, The act origianal set up to preserve historical land-marks IE Washingtons house has been miss use so many times its not even funny. No were in the HPA of 1967 and its three updates the last one taken place in the early 90's to protect WWII landmarks does it state that the act is to be use to prevent recorvey of aircraft. In fact their is a sub-section that talks about the preservation of motorized vechiles(aircraft have motors).
The National Park Service has been told on many occasions that the HPA does'nt apply to aircraft but I guess you can'nt beat and old dog with a stick.
Cheers Rob R
