Mr.Matt,
Please do not get your nose out of joint when I say that you are not totally right but your clarification covers you.

I have seen event shut down in the middle of the day so a maiden could be done, just before a war bird scramble the newly flown A/C participated in. I don't think the CD left the premises, and I have complained and it was blown off. What was really uncool was the bird that had the engine depart while in flight. In fact, I avoid that particular CD's events just because of that incident. Took several years before I 'forgave' the club itself. Probably one of the JPO folks recalls who it was, since it is near me and they have several big events a year. I admit that was NOT at a JPO event, but it DOES happen.
