*[[April 24]] - Marine Corps Colonel Jerry Cadick, then commanding officer of [[MAG-11]], was performing aerobatics at the MCAS El Toro Air Show before a crowd of 300,000 when he crashed his [[F/A-18 Hornet]] at the bottom of a loop that was too close to the ground. The aircraft was in a nose-high attitude, but still carrying too much energy toward the ground when it impacted at more than 300 mph (480 km/h). Col. Cadick was subjected to extremely high G forces that resulted in his face making contact with the control stick and sustaining serious injury. He broke his arm, elbow and ribs, exploded a vertebra and collapsed a lung. Col. Cadick survived and retired from the Marine Corps.

The Navy report stated in part: "The cause of this tragic accident was the failure of the pilot to manage the energy state of the aircraft, and then to recognize a departure from controlled flight at low altitude, and apply the NATOPS recovery techniques."[29]

2001

  • Two accidents occurred during the Biggin Hill Airshow over the weekend of June 2-3, 2001. In the first accident, on the Saturday, a vintage de Havilland Vampire jet crashed, killing both pilots on board. The Vampire had been flying a display in tandem with a de Havilland Sea Vixen aircraft, and the likely cause of the accident was that the Vampire's flight path had been disrupted by wake turbulence from the larger aircraft.[30]
  • The following day, a 1944 Bell P63 Kingcobra crashed, also killing the pilot. The American World War II fighter aircraft had been flying an unplanned sequence, when the pilot lost control at the top of a climbing manoeuvre and was unable to recover from the resulting dive. The aircraft impacted the ground to the west of the runway in a steep nose down attitude.[31]
  • 21 June 2001: Major Robert Painchaud of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds team and his passenger ejected after a mid-air collision between planes #1 and #5 as they attempted to rejoin the "Concorde" nine-jet formation for a media shoot over Lake Erie near London, Ontario. The passenger sustained serious injury, but Major Painchaud suffered only bruising and the other aircraft was safely flown back to base. [32]

No one was hurt on the ground. After having ejected, the two pilots (Alexander Beschastonov and Sergey Tresvyatsk)[40] landed safely. Investigators later determined that a pilot error was the cause, after one pilot did a reverse loop and disappeared into the clouds, the other one lost sight of his wingman and aborted the routine. [41] Video of the mishap.[42]

1992

1990

1989

  • June 8 1989 - Paris Air Show - During a low-speed, high angle-of-attack portion of Mikoyan's test pilot Anatoliy Kvochur's routine display flight, a bird sucked into the turbofan of his MiG-29's right engine caused it to malfunction. After steering the MiG away from spectators, Kvochur managed to escape death when he ejected from the MiG seconds before his aircraft plunged into the ground.[45][46]

1988

  • August 28, 1988 - Ramstein airshow disaster (Ramstein, Germany) - Three members of Italy's Frecce Tricolori Air Force Display Team flying Aermacchi MB-339's were involved in a mid-air collision.

Giorgio Alessio were killed and the wreckage from the collision landed on the spectators of the air show killing 67 people on the ground and seriously injuring 346.
  • April 24 - Marine Corps Colonel Jerry Cadick, then commanding officer of MAG-11, was performing aerobatics at the MCAS El Toro Air Show before a crowd of 300,000 when he crashed his F/A-18 Hornet at the bottom of a loop that was too close to the ground. The aircraft was in a nose-high attitude, but still carrying too much energy toward the ground when it impacted at more than 300 mph (480 km/h). Col. Cadick was subjected to extremely high G forces that resulted in his face making contact with the control stick and sustaining serious injury. He broke his arm, elbow and ribs, exploded a vertebra and collapsed a lung. Col. Cadick survived and retired from the Marine Corps. The F/A-18 remained largely intact but was beyond repair.[47][48]

1983

  • May 22, 1983 - A Canadian Forces CF-104 Starfighter, 104813, of 439 Sqn., explodes in mid-air during airshow performance at Rhein-Main Air Base, Frankfurt, Germany, wreckage falling onto parked cars in woods near the airport, setting several afire and killing three adults and two children watching the display, Reuters news service reported. A Canadian Forces spokesman said that the CF-104, flown by Capt. Alan J. Stephenson, 27, was in a formation of five Starfighters, and that he was to do a solo display. He had done two complete circuits and had leveled off for a low-speed fly-past when the plane malfunctioned. He ejected safely. The spokesman said that a board of inquiry has been convened to investigate the cause of the crash. [49]

1982

  • On September 11, 1982, at an airshow in Mannheim, Germany a United States Army Chinook (serial number 74-22292) carrying parachutists crashed, killing 46 people. The crash was later found to be caused by an accumulation of ground walnut shells that had been used to clean the machinery.[50][51][52]

1980

  • On September 21, 1980, a Douglas A-26 Invader crashed during an air display at Biggin Hill. The aircraft was attempting to carry out a climbing roll in front of the crowd when the nose dropped sharply, and the aircraft continued rolling until it dropped vertically into a valley. The pilot and seven passengers were killed. The Civil Aviation Authority subsequently introduced rules preventing passengers from being carried during air displays.[53]

1978

1974

1973

1972

  • September 24, 1972 - Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor crash (Sacramento, California) - A privately owned F-86 Sabrejet piloted by Richard Bingham fails to take off while leaving the Golden West Sport Aviation Show. The jet crashed through a chain link fence at the end of the runway, across Freeport Boulevard, crushed a parked car and then crashed into a local Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor. The ice cream parlor was occupied in part by the Sacramento 49ers "Little League" football team. 22 people on the ground were killed, including twelve children and two people in the parked car. An eight-year-old survivor of the accident lost nine family members including both parents, two brothers, a sister, two grandparents and two cousins. A family of four were also killed in the accident. Immediately after the crash, an elderly couple trying to cross the street to the crash site were struck by a vehicle, with the wife being killed. [56]
  • June 4, 1972 - Transpo 72 Airshow (Washington, D.C.)- Major Joe Howard of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds flying Thunderbird 3 was killed during the Transpo 72 airshow at Dulles International Airport when his F-4E-32-MC Phantom II, 66-0321, experiences a loss of power during a vertical maneuver. Pilot breaks out of the formation just after it completes a wedge roll and was ascending at ~2,500 feet AGL. The aircraft staggers and then descends in a flat attitude with little forward speed. Although Major Howard ejects as the aircraft falls back to earth from ~ 1,500 feet slightly nose low, and descends under a good C-9 canopy, winds blow him into the ascending fireball. The parachute melts and the pilot plummets 200 feet, sustaining fatal injuries in fall. [57]

1966

  • September 2, 1966 – A United States Navy Grumman F-11A Tiger of the Blue Angels acrobatic team crashed on the shore of Lake Ontario. The pilot, Lieutenant Commander Dick Oliver, 31 years old, of Fort Mill, South Carolina, was killed. [58]

1964

  • May 9, 1964 – A Republic F-105B-15-RE Thunderchief, 57-5801, Thunderbird 2, delivered to the Thunderbirds demonstration team in April 1964, suffers structural failure and disintegrates during 6G tactical pitch up for landing at airshow at Hamilton AFB, California, killing pilot Capt. Eugene J. Devlin. The failure of the fuselage's upper spine causes the USAF to ground all F-105s and retrofit the fleet with a structural brace, but the air demonstration team reverts to the F-100 Super Sabre and never flies another show in F-105s.[59][60]

1961

  • September 24, 1961 TSgt John Lesso of the Thunderbirds C-123 crew was killed when an Air Force C-123 carrying the Army Golden Knights crashed on take-off at an airshow in Wilmington, NC. He was aboard the aircraft as an observer.

1958

  • September 20, 1958 – A Rolls-Royce test pilot flying an Avro Vulcan, VX770, in an airshow at RAF Syerston pulls up too hard after a high-speed flyby and exceeds the airframe's structural limits, collapsing the plane's right wing. The craft spirals out of control and crashes, killing the entire aircrew and 3 people on the ground. [61]

1956

1952

The Northrop F-89 Scorpion disintegrating at Detroit, 1952
  • August 30, 1952 – One of a pair of Northrop F-89 Scorpions disintegrates in flight during a display at the International Aviation Exposition at Detroit, Michigan, killing the Scorpion pilot and one spectator.[62]
  • September 6, 1952 - Farnborough Airshow crash (Hampshire, England) - Pilot John Derry and flight test observer Anthony Richards flying a DH 110 Sea Vixen are killed when the outer starboard wing, immediately followed by the outer port wing, broke off when the aircraft was pulled into a climb.

Norman Jones of Denver flew in low over the crowd and attempted a loop. The pilot had reportedly arrived late and missed the safety briefing which prohibited flying less than 500 feet above the ground and banned any stunts near the crowd. Lt. Jones was at an approximate altitude of 200 feet when he began his loop.[63]

1950

  • July 7, 1950 – Third prototype of three Vought XF7U-1 Cutlass twin-tailed fighters, BuNo 122474, suffers engine explosion during flight exhibition at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland. Vought test pilot Paul Thayer ejects, parachutes into two feet of water, airframe impacts on island in the Patuxent River. Pilot is returned safely to the admiral's reviewing stand, show announcer inquires "What will you do for an encore Mr. Thayer?" He learns that he suffered fracture to small bone at base of spine – later tells Vought management that he was the only manager who actually "broke his ass for the Company."[64]

1945

  • May 27, 1945 - The third prototype Curtiss XP-55 Ascender (s/n 42-78847) was destroyed in a crash during an air show at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio, killing the pilot and two civilians on the ground.
