Rossy did have permission. I appreciate your comment because it resulted in reconfirming Rossy’s FAA approval. Here is what FAA Public Affairs Los Angeles spokesman Ian Gregor told me at 2:30 p.m. today, Jan. 10: “Yes, we ultimately authorized him to fly on a limited basis with a significant number of restrictions. The issue was he came to us with his plan at the last minute.”

Mr. Gregor said he is checking for additional details, but said I could release his statement that Rossy did have permission. If he sends anything else I will post it here.

He fled the country to avoid trouble. Surprising if they let someone with a proven anti-authority streak fly at the busiest air show in the world.
