Air Shows under threat

[kevin b]

Oo'er.

I wonder who's letter boxes that fell through ? Hopefully some very polished ones.

The worry is that these are the same people who are sorting out the "Drone Problem"

It might not be long before the pigeons in Trafalgar Square have to get flying permits !!!

Nothing like telling it how it is, is there?:

"It should be obvious that the expertise for the disciplines of all aspects of displays largely resides with the air display community itself; the CAA is populated in the main by officials, many of whom having little or no understanding of aviation, let alone the complexities of aerobatic flying display routines.

By way of example, last month’s regular pre-season BADA symposium, an event attended by over 350 military and civilian air show organisers and pilots, was addressed by a CAA representative with little or no understanding of aviation matters who had most recently served as a Civil Servant with the NHS."

Not happy at all!......

Bit puzzled me, are we looking at a set of arguing idiots, or two sets of arguing idiots.

Not sure how many idiots are involved, it reads like they've brought a man with a plan in, who'll improve everything and bring down costs, like they did with NHS etc.
