What -Get Real!
" Roads get closed for cycle events, running events, why not airshows"
"I live in the Shoreham area. I travel along this stretch of the A27 frequently. For many years I've either attended the RAAFA show or watched from local vantage points. I saw the Hurricane accident which occurred barely a couple of hundred yards from the Hunter crash. Whilst hoping that the possibility of similar tragedies is minimised I abhor the likelihood of this historically important commemoration being abolished or neutered."
"But "close the A27" for the greater part of two days? Does anyone making this preposterous suggestion actually realise what this would do to traffic in this area?"
My view - don't have airshows that endanger the public. It's really quite a simple concept. Aerobatic manoeuvres are over the airfield. The MSD requirements allow for crashes. Someone may screw up - it happens. But due diligence should militate against this. Maybe it's down to the quality of the Display Director and the FCC!
