Of course I fully expect you to bring up the Fairveiw deal again, ONE club out of 2,500 LOL great example.
There's Farview (where AMA did nothing for YEARS), there's great video of a 100lb plane nearly hitting the crowd (with AMA EC member present), a video of a turbine plane directly at the crowd, news stories of a turbine plane crashing and spewing "like a flamethrower", and a host of others. FRIAs are going to die off anyway. You really should listen to you beloved AMA's podcast. Particularly the part about where AMA's own consultant says that a substantial change like "removing the sunset provision for FRIAs" would cause a re-opening of the comment period - something AMA's consultant says the FAA wants to avoid. Translation: The FRIAs will sunset per the rule. They'll all go away. No more waivers.

There you go again, putting words in my mouth. I never made any claim that where I fly is any more safe, or any less safe, than a fixed site. Nice try.

I know I will never get one, but hopefully it makes people realize that if those two accusations were utter BS, how much more that comes from you is BS?
What will come from me is language to help FAA, DoD, DHS, TSA (and others) take the rule where I know they want it to go. Just like I provided the language they later used to argue why AMA member number would not be used in lieu of registration. And why AMA should not hold registration data.
