Dragonman,
I did 12 airshows last year, I saw a passenger in the back of a performing
aircraft at every single wavered show. I too wondered, but they are doin
g it under the needed observer rational. I asked them. All where flying
with other aircraft in flybys or formation. The FAA was there as well.
I suppose it all goes along until something happens.
Keep on draggin!

Tom, In the case being talked about they are going to be taking / charging
people from the general population, adults and children ( note lawyers
love wrongful death suites involving children) for rides/aerobatics/combat
in a hazardous environment. All of the activity you refer to involves
owners, crew members. At what official Airshow ( wavered air space) have
you seen passengers during a performance?

Every day of the year pilots are conducting Airshows FOR HIRE in experim
ental airplanes (including Yaks and Nanchangs).
Several times each and every year our friends kill themselves doing this
commercial activity.
Nobody ever bats an eye.
Nobody ever says: Hey, that airshow activity is dangerous and kills peop
le - should we be doing that?
Why is that? I have always wondered.
In the last year we (Yaks / CJS) have lost several of our friends to for
mation and aerobatic activity.
Flying is risky. There were ten (10) fatalities in my business last yea
r (2 takeoff, 2 formation, 1 acro, 5 weather).
2 more fatalities already this year (2 acro)
I think it is valuable to apply the same passion for friends and aircraf
t regardless of the activity being conducted.
