I fully appreciate what your saying Steve, but then again, the same thing can and very unfortunately does, happen at airshows.

I am suggesting a proper event, with professional crews, and certainly not what you'll see, if you follow this link

UK Pilots included Steve Jones and Paul Bonhomme

This is an FAI endorsed and sponsored event, which so far, has taken place in Japan and China. On the China Page, I want you to guess, how low the Pilot is. The CAA would have themselves several litters of kittens. The Japanese page, does show some incredible imagery.

If the safety standards could be in place, then it's not impossible. Think about it, it would include Europeans as well, and as Jim says, it's possible the Americans might want to get involved as well
