Airshow appearance money
Just having this conversation out loud and wondered if and how much an aircraft/crew gets paid to turn up at an Airshow? I know this is like asking how long is a piece of string but just an idea would be fine. Let’s say an airshow in the UK and you turn up in a warbird like a Spitfire. Do you get remunerated for performing?

Wouldn't it be more like possible sponsored fuel support in and out or similar if anything?
I know a private "historic" Mustang owner. His real cost aside from airplane and maintenance is his insurance that has to be obtained in small flight hour packages like 15 hours or similar. This is why there is not much flight time left to fly around to shows and back even for wealthy owners and even with some hoped for payment to attend. He is typically enjoying flying it locally overhead his base airfield and that's it.
