What is going on lately...?

This has not been a good year for airshows.

Dear God, I sure hope he died instantly. From what little remains of the aircraft, the fire was very intense...

I thought it would be him.

Damn.

Very sad indeed. I always worry about the kids in the audience and how it affects them.
I've been to a lot of airshow over the years and thankfully never witnessed a crash. (accident, yes with damage but no one hurt)
I think it would have brought the fear factor in too much. Probably would have turned me away from aviation too.

Sad stuff. Saw one of these guys a few years ago come seconds from doing a gear-up landing.

RIP
