I believe they are not killing the rally, just calling it a different name to allow for the inclusion of other GA aircraft - Britains answer to Sun and Fun and the like.
As long as it keeps it's roots, it will open up a whole new audience to get involved in GA. A PFA meets Aerofair with a bit of Fly! thrown in will do no harm to the industry and should boost the income to the PFA.
Joe bloogs who may be interested in flying would be put off by the name and content of the PFA rally as would many non PFA pilots. Flying for Fun on the other hand will bring new people and hopefully help to reverse the decline of GA since 9/11.
I'm all for it and hope it get's the support a bold decision like this deserves.
It's an exhibitors view and i'm sure many members will disagree but i'm signed up for next year on the basis of this.
Good on you PFA. Sitting back and not changing anything is not an option.
