Not a performancs here, but you are correct in assuming no pax during a performance in waived airspace. The regs allow no one but essential crew during Airshows.

This was a well briefed photo session up at safe and legal altitudes with both occupants chuted up.

In our profession I can assure you that safety is always our number one priority.

A few years ago I gave a ride to a gentleman while we were performing at an air show at Decalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK) in Atlanta


I guess I misunderstood the first line of the post...

I have been the airboss several times when show pilots have tried to take passengers during their performances. I know the Lima Lima guys took a videographer up during an airshow performance at Rantoul AFB some years ago. I am not making a judgement just an observation.

I thinks its a great pic.
