I HATE air displays and never go to them anymore. Just Google airshow crashes and the like.
I've lost too many friends in them or practising for them. Watching C130s pulling 100+ degrees of bank to 'impress' the public who didn't know the aircraft was 40+ degrees beyond its published limitations.
Please spare me the theory that a barrel roll is +1g all the way round, I KNOW it is, I also know that not many people can actually achieve that.
When Joe Public is used to seeing aircraft doing amazing stuff, big aeroplanes often look staid - they're supposed to be, the inertia is something to behold compared with FJs or A10s et al.
Remember the famous B-52 video, wasn't that Elmendorf too?
RIP (again). I just feel SOoo sorry for the NOK.
