G'day All
Nothing like a good mid air to spice up the day however there is the safety aspect to consider as well as courteous airmanship on the flightline.
We should not forget that the absolute basis tenets of flying are, in descending order of merit:
Aviate
Navigate
Communicate
If all 3 aren't happening something bad is likely to occur.
Perhaps we could allocate slots if time at the field as required on the day for different styles of flight. The way I see it is that if you have multiple different aircraft up with vastly different flight profiles and speed an accident is inevitable no matter how much communication is flowing.
