I've been to plenty but your post seems an odd thing to ponder.

You're far more likely to get killed in a vehicle. Are you doing any of that?

I gave it a try and there wasn't very many in this country. The worst was in Ukraine and Germany.

Why are you afraid to go to an air show? The most dangerous part of it is in the driving to the site of the show and the driving home after.

irrational fear (illogical or disproportionate anxiety)

It happens often

I've been to many air shows. Even flew in one. Also, I released a flour on a bombing run in a Champ tail drager dropping a bag of flour out of the plane on a target. All this and never ever seen anyone get hurt.

Prior to security being clamped down, after 9/11, we would go to NAS Whidbey Island every chance we got, for their airshow. The traffic exiting was far more dangerous than the airshow.

No it actually happens very very seldom. You can get meds for that anxiety as I would think it might limit many fun activities.

There has been a fair number of crashes at air shows of late. Still not many at all but - a few above whatever normal is….

However, quite some time ago they added Some rules that they can’t fly the dangerous maneuvers over the audience any more. If there is a crash it will be over the empty part of the runways or a nearby empty area.

I too would be more concerned about the drive to the show than having an issue at the show.

We attend any around us, the Fagen WWII shows every 2-3 years are just awesome!

We do this one, its pretty awesome, one can sit right next to the runway. Sadly the next one is postponed.

POSTPONED - Warbirds Over The Beach 2026 | Military Aviation Museum
