Okay , guys here’s the deal. The U.S. is hoping the Coronavirus wave will crest by the end of April. That’s a hope. It may be May, June, or later. The EAA spends many millions, like twenty or thirty million putting the show together. It’s the only air show they produce. A long time ago the had air shows called Sun N Fun, Copperstate, Tullahoma, and a couple more. Now it’s a one shot crap shoot.
There’s a deadline that they have before they buy the insurance policy, the security contracts, food contracts, etc. on a micro scale, ask anyone that has ever cancelled a wedding last minute. They lost a lot of money because the bride or groom waited too late to cancel. I ama contract pilot for a couple of the biggest music labels , and several artists in Nashville. We make 90% of our money off of concerts and other public events. Our jets have been parked since January.
A vaccine will be the long term solution for all of us to return back to normal life. They estimate it will be 15 months, although I think they will do better than that, somehow. The current model according to Dr. Birx forecasts 300,000 deaths this year alone in the U.S. The worst case is 100 times worse, or three million deaths. So , using a body count like our buddy McNamar did for the Vietnam War, we are one per cent into a most probable outcome. This is a plague of biblical proportions and the numbers double every four to five days.
I’ve been going to Oshkosh since 1876, and can’t see how it makes financial or good sense to hold this event in three months.
