Default Cockpit video displays. Was: Get Rid Of Warbirds At Oshkosh


"Convair" wrote in message

Problem is, when you are taxiing in front of one of those big blind
warbirds, how would you know if they have the camera? I'd rather just
make my plane more visible to them and not trust them to see me by
other means. And the idea of stopping the warbird if unsure of being
in the clear, if all the areas the warbird pilot can see are clear,
he'll keep going. Wing walkers are mostly for taxiing in the
showgrounds, once on the taxiway, they are rarely used. Then it's up
to the aircraft to see and aviod each other. Which obviously has
serious flaws.


It's only serious flaw, is that one person neglected to take the necessary
actions, to see as needed. Period.

This isn't rocket science, folks. Every other pilot of a big blind warbird
has done it pretty darn well, up to now.
