Watching vintage aircraft at Shuttleworth being displayed gently on a sunny afternoon or balmy summer's evening is a unique pleasure, but that's not how airshow crowds like to see fighters being flown.
I’m not sure I agree; over the years I’ve been amazed at the level of aviation technical knowledge of airshows’ Joe Public. I’d guess there’d be relatively few at a ‘vintage’ display who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable when an old aircraft is being asked to do things it was designed to do – but not now, in it’s dotage.
