one of my former 757 colleagues, had a thing for buses and used to get bus spotter monthly ......he completely brazened out any p... taking by leaving the mag around for us to peruse.
I can beat that. One of my colleagues actually drives busses on his days off as an airline pilot!

having done display flying, I can attest there’s considerably more involved than just turning up and having a go at a few loops ands rolls in front of a crowd. The ‘due care’ process is essential to protect the lives of the pilots and the spectators. Shoreham is a perfect example of what can happen when this is not done. I can fully understand why an F35 full display is not being flown this season.
