Warning: may be distressful: I still remember this baddie(the worst of all?) with 300,000 watching; What with the 2011 Reno airshow (10 dead & the 74 year old pilot) and one at nearby 2014 Travis AFB (jeff-grove saw that one?) The crash did not kill the 77 year old pilot...the fire did. I tend to stay away-too many old-bold pilots having bad days? There has been no apparent regulatory improvements IMHO

<Reno: The main culprits, according to the National Transportation Safety Board, were several lock nuts on the left trim tab -- an aerodynamic surface on the horizontal part of the plane's tail -- nuts that had not been replaced in at least 26 years. Rule One: any landing you walk away from is good. Rule Two: My day's pleasant outing SHALL remain so...no airshows!
