On Work Release
On the subject of old war planes, below is a link to the news paper photos and story of the Reunion of a TBM Avenger Squadron here in Port Clinton. These planes flew in formation directly over my house Saturday at about 200 feet. I can tell you it was a moving experience. The shear noise of the engines and props, and the sight of them in formation was very moving. It was like seeing an old war movie. Had it been a war situation I would have shtz my pants. They did a couple more passes latter in the day but not directly over my house again. I tried to get some shots with a camera, but the quality is lacking. There was also a Ford TR-Motor flying around then on Sunday, which passed close by also.

I have a AMA license. That cover bodily injury, property damage, fire, vandalism, and theft Coverage.

"Commercial General Liability Coverage
(Effective March 31)
The AMA Liability Protection applies to bodily injury or property
damage caused by an AMA member. It applies to accidents arising
from the modeling activities of model aircraft, rockets, cars, and boats,
in accordance with the AMA safety code(s).
• The “per occurrence” limit of coverage available by this policy
is $2,500,000 for claims involving bodily injury and/or property
damage. These limits are for claims occurring during the policy
period. Coverage is provided only for accidents arising from the
model activities.
• A separate policy covers participation in FAI events outside of the
United States and Canada. This policy has a $1,000,000 limit.
• There is not any coverage for injury to a member of his own family
(household and relative(s) living in the member’s household) for
claims or suits.
• The policy does not cover business pursuits: that is any activity that
generates income for a member beyond reimbursement of expenses.
This business pursuit exclusion does not apply to individual members
providing modeling instructions for pay to AMA members.
• The coverage is “excess” over any other applicable insurance
available to each individual member, such as homeowner’s.
• Has a $250 deductible (property damage only), which is the
responsibility of the AMA member causing the accident.
Accident/Medical Coverage
(Effective January 1)
The Accident/Medical coverage applies to injuries while engaged in
model activity regardless of who causes the accident. It reimburses an
AMA member in accordance with policy terms and conditions for only
medical expenses (also the benefi ciary for loss of life) incurred within
52 weeks of the accident. The Accident/Medical coverage works as
follows:
• Provides up to $25,000 for medical expenses and $10,000 for
dismemberment or death.
• AMA member directly – does not require claim action by another
person.
• Pays for eligible expenses upon submission of bills or other
documents certifying cost of treatment and that injury was caused by
model activity.
• Reimburses medical expenses only after submission to any other
health plan, including Medicare.
• Has a $750 deductible.
Fire, Vandalism, and Theft Coverage
(Effective March 31)
• Provides up to $1,000 for loss of aircraft models and accessories,
including RC equipment. All theft loss claims must be accompanied
by a police report. NOTE: Theft has to occur from a locked vehicle
or residential dwelling. There must be physical evidence of violent
forcible entry.
• Has a $100 deductible.
• Is “excess” to any other applicable coverage such as homeowner’s."

A year or two ago, maybe a bit more there was a guy in the NYC area that accidentally decapitated himself with an RC helicopter. :(
