Does anyone believe that Mark Forbes is not aware of this special invitation for his comments?
I think he just doesn't want to testify in his own interests, mostly because he is afraid of the truth, that he is a lying hypocrite.

Mark G. Forbes, have you ever given illegal trike "rides" in the last 20 years?

We know you broke FARs and you have lied to cover up.

Mark Forbes, are you capable of ever telling the truth?
Didn't think so..

Only tangentially related, but maybe requiring platform tow operators to be rated pilots isn't a great idea. It's a direct attack on small clubs and doesn't help to grow HG or PG. At the same time consequential safety issues objectively related to tow operator inexperience are exceedingly rare.

The problem with this is that it isn't true. A disproportionate share of our insurance claim losses stemmed from towing accidents, particularly ground-based towing as opposed to aerotow.

Insert Las Vegas, Hang 5, Manslaughter of a child joy ride victim for pay, here.

THAT is why we've put such effort into revising the towing program. We are reacting specifically to the risks which towing activities present. A number of the high profile claims were associated with tow operators and their level of training and experience.

We are no longer insuring tow operations that are not conducted using trained operators and specifically listed by chapters or schools. This is one of several risk-containment strategies intended to keep our sport viable and avoid catastrophic insurance claims.
