The photos and video of this past Friday's crash of a hornet illustrate the positives and negatives of the modern airshow. While the negatives certainly outweigh the positives here with the loss of the aircraft. The reconstruction of this crash will be easier because the crew of air show fans were present on a Friday practice day to capture video and photos to help solve what happened. While a couple theories are floating around it is too soon to guess and while this is a standard maneuver for this jet it illustrates the danger the modern jet pilot faces as they put on the display. Thankfully the pilot was not seriously injured in this crash.
