In each Case the department of transport warns exhibitions that air shows Are not permitted under the regulations. So far.

Each time it has department official said a re port has been prepared and sent to Ottawa where High level talks have been held Between the department and the air Force. No agreement has been worked out to allow these shows but the shows go on just the same. The department takes the View that Low level acrobatics Over Urban or populated areas Are not permitted because in Case of an Accident the falling aircraft would almost certainly damage residential property and perhaps claim lives. The air Force so far has gone ahead with the shows saying it is flying within its own safety limits and believing that the pub Lic relations achieved by the air shows More often than not off sets the slight risk of an Accident. The air Force is in the Happy position of knowing that unless an Accident occurs the most that can happen to it for disregarding air regulations is that a report will be sent to Ottawa.
