Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 4. "RE: FAA Approval at airshows" 04-24-03, 18:01z  Hi Patty: > Yep!

Am I right in assuming that the rules for spectators (e.g. how far away they must be from the runway etc.), are specified by the show coordinator (or insurance companies!) rather than the FAA? Also, how's the season going so far? Did you see any drop off in attendance (perhaps due to the war) compared to last year? Thanks!
