People don't get to act recklessly just because they want to. I suspect the good folks at Reno are going to be reminded of that when they see their insurance rates next year.

It's not like there is a small problem here. The death rate at Reno is appalling.
Anyone got a face palm pic!!

They currently charge the audience to cover parking costs and insurance. Either the amount they charge is going to have to increase, or the aircraft owners are going to have to help cover those costs. There's a limit to what the insurance companies can do to stop this.

They charge the public for the costs incurred for having the public.....no public = no costs.......then everybody can do the thing they love....exept the public who 'want' to be there.

So? I'm fine with that, and we already discussed it. Only the FAA can stop that.

Well doctor we're not impressed. You can't imagine the level of humor I find in your futile effort to impress people. There are many people here that are already retired that are not 50 yet - myself included.

John Hopkins in their own self-interest wont tell you that you'll never get rich working for somebody - I wont charge you for that nugget of wisdom - I simply like helping people who want it for free. They're just another business like so many others.

You leave school with a huge bill to pay and a piece of paper with your name on it that can could also be used for toilet paper in a pinch. Speaking of which....I'll be right back.

I'm not trying to impress anyone. I've been repeatedly called stupid for my analysis of the Reno numbers. I'm just wondering about their qualifications, so I posted mine.
