I know that and my comments were a bit ???? but it did make me think how things used to be and what a liability society we have become.

I can remember as a child going with my Dad to a motor race. There were no barriers only cars sliding inches away. We got as much of an adrenaline kick as did the drivers!

Now you watch a race from 1/2 mile away. Life is a risk but somehow we loose the essence and the colour with our self protectionist attitudes

Whereas the folks on Santa Monica Pier that day did not choose to have this guy doing what he did inside of KSMO class D
I dont suppose the class of airspace would have any relevance to a crashing aircraft.
