""""""For the average spectator the days of viewing aerobatics are long gone. Time was when you could see a small aircraft doing precision aerobatics within the airfield, without going outside the perimeter. Or some 'crazy flying'. Or that 'shooting the bottles' stunt. Perhaps a nice display of energy management in a Chippie.""""


Suggest you go along to The Moth Club annual rally at Woburn, third w/e in August.


""""""Military aircraft are for fighting wars with. They are not designed for civil use and do not have the same safety margins as civil airliners. They should not be used for aerobatic displays.""""""


Rather a sweeping statement, I would submit. Some are used for warfare. Many are used for training purposes, the Hawk springs to mind.
