[QUOTE="brman, post: 393465, member: 16508"] I completely agree with Sidewinder. What is forgotten when everyone goes all emotional after tragic events like this is that, despite what has just happened, airshows are still one of the safest spectator events! a dozen members of the public killed is tragic but that is it. A Dozen people in 50 years. And don't forget many millions of people have been to airshows in that time. I think you will find it pretty hard to find anything with better safety statistics, even after this incident. Sure, this incident needs to be looked at very carefully to see what lessons can be learnt but knee jerk "ban them all" reactions is just not sensible or reasonable. [/QUOTE]
