The CD or whatever the event director title has the obligation to conduct an AMA event within the AMA rules and within his judgement for what is safe for the environment of that particular event. He can also entertain any reasonable suggestion from anyone to make things safer. As a participant you have a responsibility to determine whether you will support the event and stay or leave. Of course we could just not have any events to insure maximum safety...just assume the fetal position in the corner of our shop, unplug all electrical devices and shiver in the cold...
Darn, LCS, who is teaching who? I do like that last sentence phrase ".... just assume ....... shiver in the cold... No matter how much we worry and worry, none of us are going to get out of this world alive.
Now for those that are really getting new Gray Hair, all shooting will be done across the N-S runway, to west.. That makes some 100 ft. between shooter and airplane passing by which will be piloted by another person. Shooters are protected by 4 X 8 plywood on side and 4X4 in front for "ducking behind should need arise. There is some 2500 ft. between the far RW edge line and the next country lane. 100 by 800 ft of runway. Can check facility at
www.jetero.com. Pilot stations are protected and plywood is extra. Club owns 1500 ft N-S and 1500 ft E-W. The lot is 1500 by 3000. The other 1500 X 1500 is not occupied, but well maintained. Lots of room.
Come and join in.
