Default Airshow Performer Paperwork?

We're not planning on charging admission to the event, so we would have
to obtain sponsors to pay for any performers -- but I think a class
airshow act (like the Red Baron Stearman Team, for example) will
increase our event attendance exponentially.


Back when I was based at 47N, they had an "airport day" and one of the local
pilots performed. According to the management, all maneuvers had to be performed
over an area with no people in it. Fortunately, the land next door to the south
is a cemetary, and they were able to block off access to the hangars and
tie-downs on the south side of the field. All maneuvers wound up being over
airport property (which cramped things a bit), but it wound up being a decent show.

My tie-down was on the south side, which is why I discovered the restriction.
I'm sure Dudley or Rick can provide more details on the regs.
