Hangar Rat
I am an AMA member. Who said I wasn't? I said the group is not an AMA sanctioned club. And I said we use a frequency board at the fly-in and we have a few rules and a CD. The rules are for safety but we don't go willy nilly making rules.
All this big man bull about not obeying rules is IMHO just plain stupid. If you are flying at a fly in and you are not following all the "rules" I wouldn't want to be in your shoes trying to explain to the judge how your plane accidently disfigured the young girl when it was 'hit'.
In ten years we have not had an accident. We have a flightline and pilots and spotters are the only ones allowed out there.
This is the largest fly-in in WV. We have had people from 9 states come to the fly-in in the same year. We must be doing something right.
