With regard to this accident I made this comment in my first post.
Quote:
In Europe we had a 200 foot floor at all airshows that was very strictly enforced , had there been the same 200 foot floor limit at the airshow in which this pilot died he would still be alive.
Had such a restriction been in place we would not be having this conversation.
We can not control aging, we can control safety to some extent.
...and, unless making a biased and uneducated assumption, we still don't know if age was a factor in this accident. Assumptions abound, but that doesn't make fact. If so, we would have to readily attribute youth and inexperience to accidents involving the younger and less experienced demographic group within our profession.
