Does anyone know what it takes to become a display pilot?
Is it only for CPL's or would a sufficiently experienced PPL do? How would you start it? I can't say I've ever seen a C152 at an airshow doing a high speed pass!! Is there a big difference between displaying aero's and non-aero's?
At what level do you start having the plane (maybe even yourself) paid for you efforts? Who would do the paying? (sponsor or organiser of the airshow)
And now the ultimate - flying warbirds! Is there a way in without being a multi-millionaire and/or ex-Mil?
If anyone can put anything useful in (esp. if you know something about it in NZ) then please do!!
Cheers, Dupre.
