so ...

It would appear that in future each display will carry much a need for more planning [both cost and skill + time implications] for both the organisers and the pilots, and likely every display will have to be individually authorised based upon displays being adjusted for the local conditions.

Blanket season DAs look like being a thing of the past

Is it me of have the limits quietly been pushed over time and the inevitable accident waiting to happen has .. er .. happened.

As an ex handler of the control column I find myself thinking what happened to plenty of power, maintaining energy and gate heights?

I attended many displays last year [including Sh.] and found myself shockingly wondering if anyone actually believed it could all go horribly wrong any more?

The illusion of of invincibility usually carries a price.

Ho hum. Busy times for some.
