It is not feared so much that a tank, for example would intentionally fire into a settlement. But accidents, technical malfunctions, human errors - all that is something different, and thus military airshows should at leats be kept away from settlements and cities. It simply is unreasonable to the max to perform extreme air manouveurs in formation above the heads of a crowd, wether it be fighters, or air race planes. that's as if Formula One would allow people to stand right in the sandboxes at turns and corners. Instead they have built walls and fences and minimum distances between stands and tracks. I wonder why?

Maybe you shouldn't come out of your house - you might get hit by a falling meteor! :p
Watching the Blue Angels is safer than swimming in the ocean. Chances are that you will get eaten by a shark 1,000,000 times over vs. being killed by watching the Blue's airshow.
I understand that some people have a phobia of aircraft such as airliners, private aircraft, and even military jets flying over them (forgot the name of this particular phobia), but please let let the rest of us watch our air shows.
Thanks,
