10. Seattle World’s Fair Accident
This story is pure nightmare fuel.
Of course, the 1962 Seattle world’s fair was not officially an Air Show, it was a show on space-age and next-generation technology and guess what? more than 10 million people attended it! and did you know that Seattle’s iconic space needle was erected exclusively for this show back then?
09. Indian Air Force Day Accident
I’m telling you all, Fighter jets and Stunts don’t really go together! This accident is from India, which does in fact have fighter jets and air shows of its own! On October 8th, 1989, on the Indian Air Force day, Wing Commander Ramesh Bakshi got on to his Mirage 2000 fighter jet to showcase his awesome stunts at the parade to honor the Indian air force! He was going to perform some neck-breaking stunts that no amateur pilot can pull off, along with a "Downward Charlie”, one of the most complicated and dangerous stunts a very few veteran pilots can show off.
08. Canary Islands Air Show
Have you ever been to an airshow? Believe me, when I tell you, it is a spectacular thing to see! More than anything, it’s the vibe that is around it that gives you the greatest fun!
However, this particular airshow you are going to see did not have a very happy ending.
07. Bartlesville Biplane Exposition
When you were a kid, chances are that you had a lot of enthusiasm for Helicopters and Biplanes. These classics of aviation are great for mind-boggling stunts and at the hands of a true ace, can even do high altitude air stunts even at 11,000 feet up above the ground (3300m)! However, by now you must have realized, it’s sad but true that this particular biplane show did not have a happy ending.
06. Paris Air Show Disaster
This Air show disaster is a special scenario in its own way. why is that? because it is one of the very first incidents of Supersonic jet disasters!
The Paris air show draws hundreds of thousands of aircraft enthusiasts from all across Europe and the world since the early days of aviation, 1909. And this show in 1973 was just like all the others, full of new age aviation technology and air crafts. But the spotlight was shining upon one particular aircraft this year. it was the Tupolev TU-144, the first Russian-developed supersonic passenger jet at the time.
05. Airshow at RAF Syerston 1958
It was 1958 and the heyday of the Royal Airforce's glory. They had defeated the Germans and reigned supreme during the second world war and still, that heat was up and running!
This air show at the RAF Station Syerston, Nottinghamshire was very special for the Royal Air force. Why? Because they were going to showcase their latest addition to the RAF Arsenal. A high altitude, next-generation heavy bomber that goes by the name, Vulcan.
04. National Championship Air Races Disaster 2011
Car Races are wonderful! Air shows are Better! But Air Races? Now that is Awesome! Have you ever been to one? if you have, you must have always been at the edge of your seat when those daredevil pilots make those jaw-dropping turns, barrel rolls, and dives at breakneck speeds!
They could never go wrong right? or is it the case always? Well, they do go wrong, and yes… when they do, they go horribly wrong.
03. Ostend Airshow Falcon Disaster
The 1997 Ostend Airshow in Belgium featured the latest air crafts and technologies at the time. not only that, many prominent aircraft acrobatics teams from across the world participated in this event! And there is no need for second-guessing, there were thousands of air show fans there to see this astonishing spectacle.
02. Ramstein Air Show Disaster - Germany
As you close in on the most dangerous and disastrous air show disaster of all time, this is now the second most fatal incident. The Ramstein Air Show disaster happened in 1988 in Ramstein Air Base controlled by the United States in West Germany.
The air show was a glaring spectacle, with the best military pilots from all across western Europe and the world. The show was more than just an Air show. It was a display of western solidarity and air force superiority to communist eastern Europe and especially the Soviet Union.
01: Sknyliv Air Show Disaster in Ukraine
Now, we are about to see the deadliest air show crash of all time. the Air show Disaster of Sknyliv (sknee-liv) in Ukraine. Yes, I know it’s a bit hard to pronounce… well, it's a Ukrainian name, after all.
The Ukrainian air force celebrated its 60th anniversary with the Sknyliv Air show. More than 10,000 people, mostly Ukrainians, attended to celebrate the glory of their military! After all, the military is the pinnacle of national glory now isn't it?

Have you ever seen an air show? Were you scared? Tell me about it in the comments!

[@rremoirse]

I like looking at airplanes and I would love to see them at air shows but, things like this makes me kind of anxious to see air shows. I wonder what it’s like for anyone who goes in a general sense.

[@MrEddieG420]

airshow pilots dont just preform "stunts" from the seat of their pants ... they fly a highly controlled and choreographed set of manoeuvres dictated by the planes capability's...

[@TyroneSayWTF]

Atrocious documentary; couldn't get past the first two minutes since the narration/dialog and images/video had absolutely nothing to do with one another - other than they were airplanes from the same century. Just terrible production values.
