Display Flying
 

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.
