“Although the court’s decision in this case might be seen as a mere adjunct to Heller,” Justice Stevens wrote, “the consequences could prove far more destructive — quite literally — to out nation’s communities and to our constitution.”

Hi, Jack
Cirrus had a mockup of an SR22 turbocharged aircraft next to the grandstands, but it was in a pricey special admission area open to only a few, and not to the press. We managed to get in anyway and you’ll see photos in the article coming out in a future issue of AOPA Pilot. At the really pricey seats about 400 yards away, there was a small-scale (six foot wingspan) of the Cirrus Vision jet. Cirrus is a partner with Red Bull.

I found it curious that the terms & conditions for admission to the event includes this:

It is forbidden to use, possess, hold or bring to the venue the following items, without limitation, to be assessed at the discretion of the stewards, safety personnel, and/or any other legally-authorized persons:
…
(e) alcoholic beverages of any kind, narcotics or stimulants;

Uhhh, Doesn’t everything that Red Bull make fall into the last category?

I was there on Saturday and was very disappointed that there were booths for radio controlled airplanes but nothing for GA.

There wasn’t an AOPA booth or a flight school booth or even an aircraft display. Cirrus had a video they played at “half-time.”
