Susie...Personally, I am bothered by the fact that some of our best pilots are working these air shows flying jets like the Blue Angels and whatnot. How many great pilots have been lost, just so they can entertain the rubes.
I recall in Cleveland some years back how a pilot was killed when seagulls flew into his jet engines and the jet exploded. Is there really any benefit to this?
