I for one support Pauls comments.
After reading the artical I came to the conclusion that Paul was still very upset over the loss of Rob's life when interviewed and had no axe to grid, but made a choice to tackle a very important taboo subject head on.
Paul is a respected aviator with many pilots looking up to him for guidence when it comes to aerobatic flight, and so he bears a responsibility to promote the importance of safety and appropriate training.
I also can not see a 'divide' between current airshow and competition pilots as VH-XXX sugguests. Paul is still very active in competition flying and has always promoted the Australian Aerobatic Club as well as Matt Hall.
VH-XXX making comments that these pilots have a "list" is a utter loss of respect to these pilots and a disgrace. As for "jealousy", why would Paul devote so much of his time importing, assembling, test flying and training for others if he was jealous?? Really? seems to me you are the one that is jealous with a axe to grid!
