The ac insurance situation is getting out of hand. Our state made many pilots outlaws by requiring liability. Many can't afford even liability, think they're going to not fly?

I can't imagine owning an airplane without liability at a minimum. I know many forego hull insurance but the risk seems too great to skip liability.
I worked an accident investigation recently where the pilot had a bad cylinder and had to do a forced landing in his 172. He actually did a great job of getting it on the ground but because oil covered the windshield he didn't see a fence post which he hit and damaged the wing spar.
His insurance company denied coverage because he had let his medical and flight review lapse. An expensive lesson. I don't want to even think about what would have entailed if someone had been injured.
If you fly keep your medical and flight review current!
