Their accident at Ramstein in 1988 - where sixty-seven spectators and three pilots died, and 346 spectators sustained serious injuries in the resulting explosion and fire - is why display teams must honour the crowd line.
Obviously, my favorite is the Snowbirds - nine aircraft and always in sight of the crowd.
