Funny how the EU can turn a blind eye to those high time B737 carrying passengers, Russian aircraft being used on night freight contracts, but an old aircraft being used for joyrides at an airshow we will have to put an end to this.

Why would you need to install oxygen breathing equipment in a non- pressurised aircraft, when a fire-axe through the cockpit window and open the cargo door will dispense of any smoke, why the need to have slides installed?

How many people have been killed in DC-3/C-47 joyflights in the last 50 years?

Whats next the BBMF Lancaster banned from flying to and particpating in airshows?

Perhaps the next step for the EU would be to ban Beagles,Tiger Moths, Chipmunks and Britten-Norman Islanders from flying unless they comply with the latest EU aviation Regulations. You may need to install a 10g compliant seat in your DH-82, a glass cockpit in your DHC-1, and the list goes on.


Why have Communism when the EU can be so much more fun.
