Lear 23/Beech 18 aerobatics...only in America?

Why does the USA seem to be the only country that breads these airshow acts?

I saw a LR35 aileron rolled at the first Schofields airshow in the late 70s...and a fella looped/rolled a MD500E there too...in both cases CAA went spastic.

Bobby Younkin.

His son Matt Younkin.

Note Bobby was later killed at an airshow (not doing these acts) and Matt took over the act, by the look of it, at least in the Beech 18.
