Second accident in England this month, at east 7 dead . Hasn't this happened before/. But I mean who could have foreseen something bad happening while doing stunts over crowds with a 70 year old plane?

If you disapprove of a legal activity, too bad. Get over it.

My dad use to take us to air shows when I was little. Cool stuff.

Yes they are dangerous and people die. Probably part of the reason I found them to be cool.

It's the inherent risk in the business. I like air shows, I think they are fun. I have never been to one that there was an accident, thank goodness, but it's part of the risk. I wouldn't want to see it, but it happens.

I remember as a kid wandering around Ellington field looking at the cool old planes with my dad...

I love air shows - specially the military ones. More people die in motor racing, and I love motor racing too. OK, I know I'm bad - live with it! :grin:

So sorry, I didn't realize that posters other than you were only allowed to have opinions about illegal activities. O'll make it a point to ignore everything you say just like always

Air shows are illegal now?

I'm amazed by how many people want to ban legal activities because accidents sometimes happen. Let's ban football because the players are at risk for an injury. Let's ban auto and boat racing because accidents can happen during a race.

Why are so many people so opposed to others enjoying life?

Trophy hunter and U.S. television host Melissa Bachman ignited controversy this week after posting a picture showing her posing over a dead lion she had slain in South Africa earlier this month.

We need to ban the recreational activity of skydiving. SCUBA divers die all the time. We need to ban SCUBA diving. Surfers have been attacked by sharks. Surfing should be banned.

I agree completely. Now apply that line of thinking to one other thing... Let's ban Marijuana because somebody might catch a buzz.

Why? This is what I sometimes do on weekends - it's fun!

And I only follow the F1 races on TV - but I don't miss a race if I can help it.

Why are so many people against motor and motorcycle racing? My mum hates me being in Junior Motocross.

I have no problem with air shows, just quit using vintage aircraft!!!!

I don't care much if some hot dog stunt pilot buys the farm, I just hate seeing these beautiful old airplanes being destroyed!!!!

Eventually we will reach the point where there are only one or two of each model left in museums.

A person hasn't lived until they've been to the EAA AirVenture (http://www.eaa.org/en/airventure) held once a year in Oshkosh, WI. Not only is the air show great but there are always new/old and one of a kind aircraft on display, up close.
