Anyone who has been to an airshow has seen the pleasure the crowd get from watching aerobatic manoeuvres. Millions every year around the world go home having had a great day watching aeroplanes being flown to high standards. Every now and then there is an accident. The numbers who die are small.

I don't believe that people go to an airshow hoping to see a crash. I have never at any airshow heard anything remotely like that being said, and as the chances of seeing a crash are so small it is not the best way to see such if that is your wish.

Very sad to read of another death of a pilot but surely no need to overeact by proposing to ban airshows
