I wonder if we read about air show crashes as often as they happen....

Good point. Instant news with the 24 hrs news cycle.

There was a Red Bull stunt plane at the Motorcycle Grand Prix race at Indianapolis last month. That guy was friggin’ amazing. But any type of mechanical failure on the plane would be instant death, because they fly so close to the ground a good bit of the time.

I saw one at the NAS Oceana Air Show in September of 2007. There was no national news and the air show continued after a hour delay.

I just went back and read some info on the net about the crash that day. The 74 year old pilot had lied about heart problems to keep his ticket.
