I just sent Mark a private email on this same deal. The 172 apparently did not like it down in the line so he just flew wherever he wanted and dropped in, or wandered aimlessly, all over the #$%#$@% sky. I say have a STUPID PILOT forehead stickon, dunce cap and clown shoes and make these people wear for their duration at the show. A little too far............I deleted the requirement for high water pants and toilet papering their airplane......it wasn't the airplanes fault.
