While full of cheap red wine tonight I opined the following:

Immediately prior to me becoming involved in aviation 20 years ago VFR got the option of not being involved in the system OCTA. There were cries of "people are goina die!" Nobody did.

Then traffic was no longer passed on VFR OCTA, around 1991, and there were cries of "people are goina die!" Nobody has.

E airspace arrived about 8 years ago, and there were cries of "people are goina die!" Nobody has.

Now general E airspace, and the non-participation of VFR in controlled airspace, are a-comin' and people (that I respect) are saying "people are goina die!"

I don't think I'll sell my Coles-Myer and get into Consolidated Tombstone just yet.
