I appreciate what you're saying, but couldn't penalty enforcement save
lives if it discourages miscreants. For example, in the scenario
presented in the OP, if accurate and assuming that the Cessna pilot was
following all ATC instructions and assuming that ATC didn't err,
wouldn't some sort of action against the warbird pilots for breaking a
FAR (a federal action) or for just being rudely aggressive (an airshow
organizers issue) help prevent further such behavior from others that
might get a testosterone moment at the next airshow?

I completely agree with your comment with one addition.
Penalty enforcement is fine, and should be encouraged, but its not what will
save lives. Pre-emptive analysis of the entire flight and ground safety
issue at Oshkosh is the only approach to this issue that will save lives.
The safety program in general at Oshkosh needs a serious and in depth
review. The traffic situation vs the space available both in the air and on
the ground has reached the point where absolute control is necessary.
Without this taking place, I'm afraid there might very well be a need for
more "enforcement" after the fact.....down the line.

To imply that warbird pilots as a group are hotdogging idiots to be banned
is as valid as saying that all Cessna pilots are fine, professional types
that do no wrong. Ban a whole group...never. How about some enforcement
against the show-offs and rules breakers that form the minority of all
pilot groups?!
