Do I agree or not? Unsure of your point .

The first stand alone sentence addressed your concern about 'non too safe' manoeuvres by comparing the relative risk of of a low hour pilot flying them as compared to, say, a national unlimited aerobatic champion. Chalk and cheese leaps to mind.

The second stand alone sentence accepts that the only noise free, pollution free, 100% safe aircraft is one in a hangar. Anything else, your skillfully leaned N included, is simply a variation on the environmental lobbie's theme.

And you are right, you didn't use the word dangerous. Just like 'short' people are 'vertically challenged.'

I'm guessing 60 gallons an hour of 130 octane delivered by the thundering sound of the RR Centaurus is next on the chopping block...

Go on, live a little, next time you're up throw the throttle against the dash and do some wingovers.
