This is the 2nd air “show ” that has produced a death in the last few weeks. What is the point of the show if it has such an inherent risk associated with it?
I don’t think the odds are that high at all for a pilot to do an air show, though, as with anything, the greater the feat the greater the risk.
By the way, it’s “killed its pilot”, not “killed it’s pilot”.
It is not worth it.
