But, are we aware of all the parameters that are involved here? More than likely, NOT.. Sure, it is upsetting when we 'bow down to the FAA', but with all the other questions this brings up, amount of personnel, insurance, etc., maybe this agreement is not as harmful as we sometimes think. Like we all know, Airventure is one of the largest and longest aviation related events in the world. Perhaps my outlook on this is different because I am in my late 60's and no longer fly as much as I would like, but still think that GA will survive. A lot of our military and commercial airline pilots own GA aircraft. Again, just my opinion.
