Agree completely and you could probably say the same about 95% of airshow accidents.

Ironically, if display pilots were assumed to be 95% likely to crash then I suspect we'd have seen more effective oversight of DA issue and renewal, display sequence design, min heights, venue topography and infrastructure management before 2015... question is, is it any better now? Or do they just handcuff anyone who looks a bit like AH?
