Having once lead that detachment of hueys to the Indy (1995 I think) It reinforced my opinion that the best you can do at a public display is to not screw up.
What I mean is if you lead a detachment or take an aircraft and fight bushfires or floods, you will be applauded for your efforts.
However, lead a detachment or take an aircraft to a public display and you are expected to show both exceptional skill and integrity. To not do so is a failure... There is never a job well done here just the opportunity to fail. An opportunity firmly grasped by that captain and his crew.
Yeah I have seen things like this in tha past, this one just lacked common sense.
