Angel Aerobatics in non aero aircraft.

Whilst reading the Lake Evella thread I read the post from Northern Chicque regarding P68 aeros. If she is who I think she is then I may of been tootling arround in those very same A/C.
From experience, luck seems to favor the stupid and it is invariably the next pilot who hours, days or even months later pays the penalty for someone else's illegal and badly performed manoever.
My sugestion is a thread which maybe reports on known witnessed actions of wrongful aerobatics and then in a subtle way indicate to pruners which a/c to avoid, give extra attention in the preflight or maybe slow down a bit more than usual next time they are in turbulance. And lastly there is always the report to the CP and having a proper inspection performed on the old girl,
they do get a bit of a hammering even without this abuse.
I have never seen any illegal aeros therefore I can not get this thread rolling but I can say that there is at least one twin in the North that I will not want to fly ever again.
