"Polish air shows victims
- 2011, one pilot
- 2009, two pilots
- 2007, two pilots"
The record of the Toronto Air Show alone is much worse. I saw seven men killed in one crash in 2005. During my time living in Canada, at least two other pilots were killed at that annual CNE event. Spookily, at the time of the Toronto Nimrod crash, which occurred in my "backyard" since I was living on a boat there, I was reading a book about UK military crashes, almost all at air shows or doing a public stunt. Air shows are in general dangerous, since pilots are performing exhibition manouvers in non-routine conditions.
EDIT: The book selected crashes mainly at air shows and the like. That does not mean that most military crashes have been at air shows. The book (IIRC) was: "Crash! Military Aircraft Disasters, Accidents and Incidents", by Andrew Brookes (1991). One which affected me as a child was the 1956 Vulcan crash at Heathrow; that plane had flown over my school in New Zealand, which left a lifelong impression.
