I phoned Bob a very days ago offering to help with his event & inquiring about turbine flying.
He advise that all was well & turbine flying would not be permitted except he had invited Lewis to perform a noon demo.
My motive was to return a favor that Bob did by preparing a very professional Program with little notice, on time & at a more than competitive price for the Jet World Master held at the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.
Anyway, in recent years, we have not only allowed but supported & encouraged electrics at Jet shows so I surely hope this will continue to be the policy.
However, it probably should be noted that it is certainly the CDs prerogative to exclude whatever type of aircraft not in keeping with his objectives.
I have flown at the ORVRCF a few times & find it an outstanding venue.
Also hope to be part of a jet show there in the near future...probably would exclude "hair dryers on roller skates"....now that's funny ! ! !
