US airshows or air races are like small-town country fairs, organised by amateur interest groups, supported by enthusiasts. Very "redneck" southern character, like NASCAR.

No central governing body from zheng hu to organize it, so can sometimes be a little boh zheng hu. Several accident in the past, luckily this one did not rain debris on the spectators.

Definitely the small plane lack SA, just anyhow turn. The pilot himself also cannot see while making a left bank.

The B17 pilots cannot see as well because the small plane was behind it.

In a way it is great but basic safety should have lah. What a waste.

US are the main controller & decision makers of air safety around the world but unable to control their own backyard....
