there are hundreds of instances of infringements, a high percentage of them serious, in and around major airports, especially in the south east, that have caused break offs and avoiding action to be taken by passenger jets. These would give me more cause for concern, especially as the likes of Stansted etc
The difference is that one ac having to action a break-off or go-around at approach speed is entirely different, and i believe more controlled and safe, than a 9-ship displaying at relatively high speed and energy actioning a 9-ship breakout plan because of some a*se that can't be bothered to check the notams!
And more to the point, how can you miss 9 Red Hawks trailing smoke, or think it's a good idea to be anywhere near them in a microlight? The only supposition must be that these folk were there deliberately for the grandstand view...or that my Gran has more airmanship than these guys flying her Stannah Stairlift
