Touchdown! Greaser!
Grrrr!
Is there ANYTHING more aggravating than an airshow that bars GA attendance? Alliance/Ft. Worth's big 2-day airshow this weekend has banned fly-in attendance! Here it is on their webpage: http://www.allianceairshow.com/GuestInformation/ParkingInfoDirections.aspx
That's like banning drive-in attendance at a car show, IMHO. Idjits.
Oh, well -- why should this surprise me? This is the same airport that has NO tiedowns on their enormous ramp. No ropes, no metal hooks for your own ropes -- nothing, nada, zip. When we were there for the Red Bull Air Races a few weeks ago, there were literally hundreds of aircraft on the ramp, totally unsecured, when a major line of storms blew threw. It was sheer luck that they didn't have millions of dollars in damage.
Stupid is as stupid does.
