Didn't stop full-size airshows, and there've been significantly more

No spectators have ever been killed at an airshow in the US.


Don't mean to sound like I'm picking nits because I fully understand
that you're talking about flying aircraft. We did, however, have a
death at an airshow at Willow Grove NAS about twenty years ago. They
failed to disable the ejection mechanism in a fighter and a young boy
ejected himself and got killed. That was the end of the airshow for a
number of years. Very sad situation.
