Airshows have no impact whatsoever on GA insurance.
To watch the pilots at a top airshow is to watch some of the finest in
the world. For myself, I'll sit and watch a plumber - if he's the best
at what he does.
There is a lot to be said for watching the best - whatever their talent
is. And in airshows, I'm watching the best of the best of the best. That
is the intoxication that brings us back every year.

for general aviation nor for the preservation of local airports...
Aerobatic displays do not foster a favorable opinion of general
aviation among the lawmakers of this country - who are exquisitely
sensitive to the mood of the public... And the carnage albeit
infrequent, only reinforces the perception among the insurance
companies that any form of aviation is an underwriting loss just
looking for a place to happen... I simply do not see any benefits to GA
stemming from low level displays of aerobatics in front of the general
public...
