C-17 Lands at Wrong Airport
- Airshows & Death
Pretty much. You are wrong. There is learning in ever facet of aviation. Whether it's improving routines, safety, or emergency response. It is our nature as pilots to learn from accidents and get better. We still have dudes land gear up, or at the wrong airport, or taking birds on takeoff and crashing, etc. etc. You can cry all day about "enough is enough" but it's not unique to airshows. People die. As long as humans pilot aircraft, this will be the case. Let me know how hanging out at the local airport goes for kids these days. A lot of kids only get to see fighters and high performance aircraft up close and personal at airshows. Who cares?- Airshows & Death
The fact that you are even asking this question points to the further pussification of America. Aviation is inherently dangerous. We take risks. Shit happens. We learn from it and move on, but there is no reason to pack it all up and quit just because "one life is too many." Airshows still inspire future generations of aviators, and if it creates a spark in just one kid who will become the next Neil Armstrong and one day set foot on Mars or become the first Ace in World War IV, it's fucking worth it.
