....you probably need to pull up a little.



Fabulous footage of warbirds (using the term loosely here) making low passes at an airshow in St. Bart's.

the closer you are the ground the margin of error shrinks exponentially. then it becomes not a matter of IF but WHEN ( and how bad )...but exciting to watch nonetheless...

The Bucket Airshow has been running for many years with no incidents. All the planes are being flown by pilots having an unlimited airshow waiver in the U.S.A.

Most also fly in the Planes of Fame annual airshow.

My prediction is that if they have an incident, it will be engine-related, not pilot error. On St. Barts, "pilot error" usually means they ran into the water trying to stop!
