Arlington Fly-In Lawsuit Reversed

While the appeals court ruled in favor of aviation, their (usual)
logic chopping just turns your stomach...
Whilst you and I look at it that the pilot is responsible for the
operation of his aircraft - period - the court went snooping through
all kinds of verdicts about businesses owing responsibility to
customers...
It basically said that the NWEAA is not liable ONLY because the
airplane crashed off the area of dirt that was under contract for the
show... Had it rolled up into a ball near the exhibit tents or in the
aircraft parking area it is likely that the court would have hit the
NWEAA with the entire $10M judgment - after correctly excusing the
EAA...

Our insane legal system turned out to be right this time, but only
through a fluke of logic chopping... Basically, anyone that has any
public event is liable for $10M (or lots more) if anything happens...
You have to be insane to hold a show, or to even have a birthday party
at your house... You are just begging to get anally penetrated by the
courts...
