Isn't that perception part of the danger Genghis. In the airshow world, it usually is fairly experienced people flying and since they have to get DA'd then hopefully there is a good check on their competance. But what about in the normal world, where somebody goes out and buys a machine and flys it with much less experience and checking than in the airshow industry.
I definately agree about the IMC issue, this will be even more pertinent when/if the Vulcan 558 project gets off the ground so to speak.
