I should think that at a show like Oshkosh, there would no end of
people wanting to volunteer to sit on the wingtip of a prop fighter while
it
taxied in.
I know I never had any trouble finding people willing to do this for me.

Today, there is too much "lawyer fear" for the organizers to condone that
practice. Shoot, you are not even supposed to sit in the back of a pickup
truck, or golf cart, for the fear of someone falling out and cracking
their
head open! :-(

Someday, if aviation historians gather in some dark august library at some
ivy league college somewhere; and look back at the tatters of what once was
American general aviation, they will agrue for hours on many issues, but all
will nod their heads in agreement on one thing; what killed the very heart
of what once made up American general aviation, was the American lawyer!
