Oh, FYI -- by OPNAV 3710.7U, which is the regulation governing Navy flight operations "Regardless of weather, IFR flight plans shall be filed and flown whenever practicable as a means of reducing midair collision potential." So we do quite a bit more than "roundy round bolters." We actually spend most of our flight time (in the US) operating IFR.[/QUOTE]

The AMA has been operating for 75 years just fine no need for any changes Besides
The Roundy Round Bolters were a reference to your RC Flying not your JET jockey stuff.

Besides ATC only guarantees Separation between aircraft that are on an IFR Flight plane have a clearance and are actually in IMC conditions. ATC don't provide a commercial any gauerentee of separation from anything when the Commercial or anything else for that matter, When in VFR Conditions. Unless U are in actual IMC it still see and be seen.
