this kind of regulation forces the cost up on a pastime which is already stigmatised as a 'rich mans sport', which is why you won't find many warbird pilots younger than 55 because to be honest you need to be rich and retired to afford to do this, and flying schools just couldnt afford to soak up the cost of this either........death of recreational aviation.



No push back the people who don't have an interest in this pastime from ever being able to make the rules.

rich retired could hire young fit pilots to fly the toys this employs people, always a workaround.
wont see the airforce hire 74 year olds fly f16s f22s . maximum minimum with
them. some are taking it the wrong way really its for safer displays and skies.

impact was so great see the motor being ejected from the air frame rolling many hundreds of feet away from impact.

he seamed to have almost dropped 70 80 degree nose first, quite a altitude as well

RIP to pilot and spectators that died.. sad day.
