now yes mabe standing so close to an unproven plane is not the brightest think to do, but when have you not stood to close to your buddys plane at the field he is putting up for the first time.
Having a "buddy" standing next to you at the field and having an entire entourage are two different things. Especially considering the size of this airplane and the lack of any barricades to prevent it from careening into the spectators.
unless it is a great big barricade if it were to go off the side it would have still hit someone. i never said it was smart to stand that close to the plane i was just making a point to the earlier post. most people dont think about thing like that coming after them. i dont think that they are governed by ama in japan either. so my guessing is that the pilot did not care about the other peoples safety or the spectators did not care about there own. most people you would think would be smart enough on there own not to need guidence from someone in redards to life and limb.
