I have no doubt the pilot and the organizers felt what they did with the Hunter was safe.

From what I read, the curbs are on older aircraft performing high energy maneuvers at airshows.

No matter how much I love aircraft, I cannot justify the death of 10 innocents and one pilot for the sake of
entertainment.
