A New and Exciting Air Show Idea
I have a cost-saving idea for the air show industry in this country.
Why don’t we have UAV acts fly during shows like Sun & Fun and Oshkosh? Just think of the economies.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles could be flown in from their bases and could park in the Warbird area.
I can see the show now. They take off in Lakeland Florida at the EAA’s Sun & Fun Fly-In and even though they are being flown by ground-bound pilot in Nevada, they do a fairly good aerobatic routine. Heck, they might even drop a few bombs or assassinate a few local leaders.
Safety for the UAV air shows would not be a problem because the entire audience can watch the show from home using an iPhone link.

Oh Oh! The EAA is coming after you. How will they survive without the herds that show up every year? Kevin.....are you running yet? It is a great idea, and us old geezers can start flying RC models and give them something to shoot at. Talk about a real air show with action and fiery crashes, just what people want. That is the next step after they take away Sport Pilot because of security concerns.

So I guess you weren't at Nellis for Aviation Nation 2007 when a Predator orbited the show the whole day sending down images to the Jumbotron before finally making it's own passes along the flight line then?
