Country:  | I was there when the bottom one happened. That was the Italian team that collided at the Rammstein AFB Airshow back in 1988.

Country: | I recall something along those lines too, Lanc. Not sure, but might have been promulgated to the ICAO standards too. Maybe FBJ can remember. I know now that all acrobatics at ANY show that I've been to since have always been parallel to the runway or parallel to public areas.

Country: | Yes there was a total ban of Airshows in Germany, but this was lifted 3 years later. Since 1991 the Germans have had regular Airshows again. However the USAF stopped there annual Airshow at the Ramstein AFB in Germany and has not done it since.

Country: | Yes Matt you are right this accident happened with the formation coming at the spectators. Since this accident all formations have to fly parallel to the spectators.
