At these events half the reason for going is wandering around the aircraft parking area, admiring the varied and sometimes unusuall aircraft.
Today we were advised walking around the aircraft now not permitted, and buses provided to and from the show area.
If this is repeated at the PFA Rally I can see a lot less attendees.
Are pilots with their passengers now deemed too much of a risk around aircraft?
(even with a high vis. jacket course)
I agree Cessnapete. Moreover, we still get the idiots who turn up not having read the Notam or the joining instructions (or if they have, they ignore them). I spaced myself perfectly on finals to land on the hard and a fool cut inside me. The visibility was perfect, so he was either blind or bloody rude. I'll not go next year.
