Read in Aeroplane about new regulations resulting from that Hawker Hunter tragedy last year. One of the things the UK does better than USA is airshows and these new rules can only have negative impact on airshows. Look for fewer airshows(especially smaller airshows) with higher admission prices and fewer aircraft. Was surprised to learn that the CAA must cover its cost with fees and taxes. There is a move in the USA to privatize the FAA. Although the member of congress pushing privation admitted to dating the chief lobbyist for American Airlines so that took some wind out of his sails.
