Gang,
Just thought I'd jump in here. As an active and heavily invested member of the warbird community, and one of the first people contacted by the FAA when people do stupid things in our community (like the L-39 buzzing of the SaMo pier), I am intimately aware of the ever increasing scrutiny our community is under by the FAA. I fully understand the implications and repercussions of not complying with the regulations...it goes beyond individual repercussions and affects the entire community.
Rest assured that Worldwide Warbirds, Inc. and/or myself are not involved in any fashion with the commercial entity selling ACM rides on the internet. We are doing our best to try to improve the community, not hurt it. Unfortunately pictures are easy to steal on the internet, but I've contacted the company and requested to have the ones of my plane removed. The other ones look like DVT CJ's.
I appreciate the "watchdog" efforts in this regard. We need to stick together and protect our precious flying privileges!
Two more points. One is that you can get a waiver, known as Letter of Deviation Authority for flight instruction in EE aircraft...it is not an unlimited "ticket" do to anything commercial. Second is while Skip Holm is one of the best, if not the best pilot I've ever flown with, a quick check of the record would suggest he does not always hold the FAR's of much import, if you get my drift.
Regards,
Barry
