Last year, not including military, balloons, helicopters or aircraft with less than 7 seats there were 1,115 fatalities. If you include everything it is far higher. They do not come in threes, they never stop and planes usually crash every day. It is just noticeable if you look for the three.

It wasn't an "Airshow", if you read the original article it sounds like one pilot was practising in a designated "aerobatic box" when another pilot flew thru it in a Lancair.
I wonder what happened to the CTAF radio calls?
Usually you'd have someone on the ground while aeros are being flown with a radio to avoid this type of tragedy.
