Operative words
"Ultimately, preserving the health and safety of all who would attend--and all the varying guidelines between states and countries from where our participants arrive--along with the massive commitments needed now for an event to meet EAA's high standards, made cancellation the only option for this year" (EAA CEO Jack Pelton, as quoted by AVweb, Ex. SEC-21-GM-012)
