Trying to belittle me because I won't join your "Good Ol' Boys Club" says even less. Propworm is Canadian and therefore has no ax to grind in the political workings of the US and, therefore, shouldn't be involved in any conversation about what happens between the FAA and AMA. He is also only allowed to fly at US sites AS A COURTESY, nothing more. He has no more clout than a Canadian Mountie trying to write a traffic ticket in Oregon, meaning essentially none.
As far as me being Franklin's parrot, you don't have a clue as to what you're talking about. My concern in this thread is the safety of those at an event, regardless of how big or small that event is. By launching unguided planes over the heads of others, especially those that aren't paying attention, shouldn't have been allowed and is dangerous at best, deadly at worst. That should be evident to anyone with a brain.
Getting back to the question about who is enforcing the rules, your answer was "a safety officer". That means nothing, especially since that person is either a volunteer that wants to "be someone", usually meaning that they want to have a title, or someone appointed by the president. What it does not mean is that the safety officer will actually do anything unless they actually have no choice but to act. If said "safety officer" is part of the "Good Ol' Boy Club" as most officers usually are, they won't say anything to one of their "buddies" unless there is a major demand to do so. Been there seen that at too many organizations to count over the years. BTW, Speed, when you posted that video of the guy impaling his leg with his boat, he was running with no one else around. The thread I referenced had several people along side the taxiway, making the pilot's actions even more offensive. The fact that not one person said anything to the guy, at least while the plane was being taxied, says that IF there was a safety officer there, he wasn't doing his job. That leads me back to the question, "WHO'S ENFORCING THE RULES"?
