Over here, there is an airshow called "Oldtimertreffen Hahnweide" (OTT), that regularly attracts many thousand of spectators and dozens, if not hundreds of old birds. The only accident I recall was an Extra, (NOT an oldtimer!) losing power after T/O and going into a field. The A/C displayed range from Ryans to DC-3s, they also had fly bys by a Connie, a B-17, a ME 262 etcetc. The displays are done by Stearmans, Cubs, Bückers, Warbirds (P-40,47,51, Spits, Hurricanes, Yaks, Sea Furies, ME 109s and a lot others)
