Subject: Pietenpol-List: FSDO/MIDO guysSome are total idiots, some are wonderful. Luck of the draw. The guy who inspectedmy Pietenpolwas wonderful. A private pilot who stopped flying to raise a family but he wasso pumped byvisiting Valley City Airport (Cubs, old Fairchilds, Stearmans, etc) that he endedup buying a Champand getting back into aviation. I even went and helped him look at a few Champsfor sale sinceI had owned one previously. One local guy was pilot, IA/A&P and he was all anti FAA until he got a job withthem-- then it wentto his head and now he's a big shot moron who likes to point his finger at peoplewho do the samethings he used to when he was on the other end of the finger pointing. Moron.Those are the oneswho give the good FAA guys bad press. Then there are the ones they hire who haven'ta clue about aviation.
