@ Backwoodsman... thank you :) @ punkfolkrocker... I do hear you BUT these men and women are checked out by peers who are unforgiving on check rides. They have to be. That is how it works. Commercial pilots have to stop commercial operation at 60 - no matter how good or experienced they are - because that is the rules. Read their "Civil Air Displays: A guide to pilots" https://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CivilAirDisplaysAGuideforPilots.pdf It will serve batter than any trash on the media just now. CAP403 (125 pages of pure fun!) covers all the legal aspects of flying displays and special events. Display pilots have to fill in an SRG1300 to dispaly and an SRG1302 to renew permission. SRG 1303 is for display notifiaction. SRG 1304 covers special events This all aside from having type ratings and being current on ANY aircraft you fly, CPL ratings and other certificates. Regular medicals and statutory reporting. Practice makes perfect. There are old pilots and bold pilots, but there are few old bold pilots!
