While I'm greatful for your guys' concern over my right to sell images, the
law is still on my side. I am familiar with NASCAR and their policies (I'm
a photographer for Laguna Seca Raceway) and also know the difference between
a sanctioning body (NASCAR)and a club such as EAA. While I don't agree with
NASCAR's bully approach to the right's grab scenario, EAA does not have
commercial rights over the aircraft that participate nor the land in which
the airport occupies...a little different than a privately owned racetrack
which pays NASCAR for their presence.

On another note, just about all of the key players involved with EAA know of
my photography including founder Paul Pobrezney and President, Tom
Pobrezney. Even their PR guy knows of the website.

Try to enjoy the images...that's kinda the idea!

The event was open to the public. It's perfectly legal to sell images
of
aircraft in the sky.

Sorry, that's certainly not true. It is quite common at things like
sporting events for
the event to claim copyright on the "show." Maybe you can get away with
it at
Airventure (although they specifically claim such rights, see this link:
http://www.eaa.org/trademark_policy.html ), but try it at a NASCAR
event sometime, their lawyers will be on you faster than than you can say
Tony Stewart.

Not all your pictures are of aircraft in the sky anyway (not that it makes
any difference).
