Wouldnt it be great if they brought barnstorming back?
Walking down to the shops to see a bi plane zooming about overhead and then landing in a field, the pilot producing a sign:£10 a ride.
wouldnt it be great!
O! but this would be too much fun for the CAA! they have to plaster rules and such all over it: barnstormers must at no time fly within 20,000 feet of a settlement or persons and should not land on surfaces other than those specially prepared to a cost of £1million ........or whatever.....
Sure we have efficient airlines, flying computers that they are, but at what cost???
BUT AT WHAT COST????
