200 feet. Did this apply to Ramstein 1988?
Although the trigger event for the accident was inadequate and constrained vertical separation between 2 formation elements, the key factor in the high death toll was the energy vector being towards the crowd line. A correctly enforced deck might have avoided the mid-air, but air shows now (mostly!) prohibit energy vectors that will take the aircraft towards the crowd following a mishap.
