Why are posters saying that displays shouldn't be over roads ? How do you get to an airfield without using a road ?
Remember too that many airfields started life well away from any urbanisation, then .... people moved close to the said airfield, and ..... tried to close the airfield !!!
This is the latest of the utter drivel 'in denial' posts.
Nobody is saying they can't fly over roads for God's sake!
It's the performance of some manoeuvres,(and
particularly some elements of them), over roads and positions where spectators may be that is the question.
If the aviation community's response is going to be "There are too many roads, silly people in their houses close to airfields" then I'm afraid they are in for a rude awakening at the hands of politicos and the nanny state all too willing to spin disaster to their advatage.
A bit of self examination and admittance that yesterday should not of happened and must not happen again is needed.
This, along with a positive approach to this issue may, just may, save air shows that millions enjoy every year.
