Elongated shadows,
Running in circles
Fucking eyes chasing the trails
A head or a tail
Shimmering light,
floating by
A wish not to die
Ballerina dances,
Of Stray bullets.

Grapevine pilot dies in plane crash near Midlothian Quarry
An American Airlines pilot died Thursday after his single-engine plane crashed near a limestone quarry in northwest Ellis County.
James J. Marshall of Grapevine was pronounced dead at the scene, said Senior Cpl. Charlie Morgan of the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The plane hit the top of the quarry in Midlothian, about 10 miles southeast of Mansfield, before tumbling into a field, Morgan said.
Marshall may have been trying to make an emergency landing, Morgan said, adding that a final determination will be up to the Federal Aviation Administration.
"He was flying way too low to be flying normally," Morgan said.
Marshall, 58, always loved to fly, said his sister-in-law, Linda Marshall. He served as a pilot in the Air Force after graduating from college and had recently been flying 777s for American, Linda Marshall said.
"We are utterly shocked," she said.
Marshall had worked for American since 1986, an airline spokeswoman said.
He had spent the past 10 to 15 years building the four-passenger 2004 Cozy Mark IV, Linda Marshall said.
"His plane was very beloved to him," she said.
He started the project in his garage and later moved the craft to Arlington Municipal Airport, a neighbor said.
An official at the airport confirmed that Marshall rented a hangar there through a private company but declined to comment on whether Marshall had taken off from the airport Thursday.
Marshall, a long-time Grapevine resident, had been married to his wife, Rebecca Marshall, for about 40 years. Neither Rebecca Marshall nor the couple’s son could be reached for comment Thursday.
It was the second fatal crash of an aircraft this week in Ellis County.
A Dallas man died at about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday after the glider he was in crashed in a wooded area about three miles from an airstrip used by the Texas Soaring Association.

When the hymens will be broken
Under the Arms of open sky
On Cradle of pyre will I be laying,
Binded onto by wreathe,
Of blends of smoke and the pungency of the cowardice
Pyromania empowers,
Ambience that surrounds me
Demands will be fullfilled
As the streams get astrayed,
Angry Uproars will mold,
Into an Mellifluos, Adagio,
Along with the notes,
The Colors,
Will then dance for me,
A different part of them,
Will I see,
Blue with hositility,
White with gloominess,
Red without it's bloodiness,
Black without it's sombreness
Yellow without it's paleness
Voidness, will then Silther around me
Engulfing me,
Towards Serenity Will I be lead,
What I waited for will be attained,
Why not by the world too that I have owned,
For that's what I have Longed, and will always be Longing.

HOMELAND INSECURITY
Bin Laden connectionat Fort Worth airport
Osama's pilot taught at flight school near facilities attended by 14 Syrians
Posted: June 11, 20021:00 am Eastern

WASHINGTON – One of Osama bin Laden's personal pilots was a flight-school instructor at the small Texas airport where the FBI, just weeks after the Sept. 11 hijackings, let 14 Syrian nationals go to learn to fly.
Essam al-Ridi, a government witness in the U.S. embassies-bombing trial, testified that he had taken classes and taught at the now-defunct Ed Boardman Aviation School at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport.
The airport's manager says the school went out of business in the early '90s.
But the airport's al-Qaida connection is disturbing, because Meacham has become a magnet for Middle Eastern student pilots, some from terrorist countries such as Syria.
In fact, 14 young Syrian men enrolled at one school there in early October, alarming local Immigration and Naturalization Service agents, as WorldNetDaily first reported.
Four of the seven schools at Meacham are owned and run by Middle Eastern men, most of them from Syria or Lebanon, the airport manager told WorldNetDaily.
Al-Ridi – an Egyptian, like hijacking ringleader Mohamed Atta – testified that in 1993 he bought a used Saber-40 aircraft for $210,000 for bin Laden. He said bin Laden wanted it to transport Stinger missiles, so he flew it from Fort Worth to bin Laden, who at the time was based in Khartoum, Sudan.
Last year's trial of bin Laden operatives for the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa produced documents revealing a number of references to bin Laden pilots and U.S. flight schools. The FBI has come under fire for failing to connect these and other dots before Sept. 11, which may have shown an outline to al-Qaida's terrorist plot.
Even after Sept. 11, the FBI did not seem overly concerned about the flight-school connection.
INS inspectors at Dallas-Forth Worth International Airport, where the Syrians entered the U.S., alerted the FBI about the clean-shaven men, who came in groups of seven, but were told only to copy their visas and other papers. The FBI did not detain or even interview the men.
However, Meacham manager Luis Elguezabal says FBI agents paid him a visit after WorldNetDaily's story broke, and was amplified by local and national media. He says they asked him for the names of the owners of the flight schools and their phone numbers.
"They were concerned about the students," he said in a recent WND interview.
FBI agents returned this year to ask him more questions, Elguezabal says. He declined to say more.
The 14 Syrians enrolled at Delta-Qualiflight Aeronautics, owned by Khaled Miloud*. They entered the U.S. on M-1 visitor's visas, which expired in April, according to INS agents. Elguezabal does not know if they've left the school and returned to Syria. Neither Miloud nor his wife, contacted at their Arlington, Texas, home, would say if they've left.
"He's been very tight-lipped even with me on that issue," said Elguezabal, who has managed the city-owned airport since 1996.
The INS, for its part, does not track foreign visitors – even those from terrorist countries – after they've entered the country to see if they've overstayed their visas.
Meacham's three other Arab-owned schools are: Gold Star Aviation (owned and run by Wael Alborghie), MK Conquest International (Eric Kudimi) and Skywings Flight Training (Walid Yammine). Elguezabal says the men are from Syria and Lebanon.
A Meacham flight-school instructor, speaking on condition of anonymity, says the Arab nationals at neighboring schools are allowed to speak in Arabic, even though the Federal Aviation Administration requires that pilots speak English, the universal language of aviation around the world. Meacham is certified by the FAA.
Meacham's schools teach student-pilots to fly small-engine planes, not jetliners.
But Atta's original plan, it turns out, was to pack small planes with explosive chemicals and slam the flying bombs into U.S. targets.
The government's Pantex nuclear-bomb facility in Amarillo, Texas, and President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, are not long flights from Fort Worth.
Large numbers of Middle Eastern men, including the alleged 20th hijacker, Zacarias Moussaoui, received flight training at schools just north of Fort Worth in Oklahoma.
What's more, Abdul Hakim Murad, who was convicted several years ago of a plot to crash a suicide plane into CIA headquarters, trained at Alpha Tango Flying Services in San Antonio, Texas. The flight school is owned by Hamid Afzal.
Not long after federal authorities let the Syrians attend flight school in Fort Worth, a large group of Algerian nationals waltzed into the U.S. to take classes at a flight school in Tyler, Texas, as WorldNetDaily also first reported.
Algeria is another Islamic terrorist hotspot.
Like the Syrians before them, the 14 Algerian men, all clean-shaven and in their mid-20s, told airport immigration inspectors that they were training to fly for their national airlines.
But a pilot, who bases his plane at Meacham field in Fort Worth, doubts their story.
"There are probably more than a hundred times as many Middle Eastern students in flight schools here as there are potential flying jobs back in their home nations," the pilot said.
Syria is one of the seven countries on the State Department's terrorist blacklist. Planes from the Syrian national airline are banned from entering the U.S.
Another pilot who flies out of Tyler told WorldNetDaily: "This story that these Algerians would be hired by their national airline upon completion of learning how to fly a single-engine airplane stinks to high heaven."
He added: "Airlines do not send pilots to flight school to fly a single-engine airplane, such as a Cessna 150 or 172.
