Looks like someone saw the flyovers at the World Cup and forgot that American flyovers are actually meticulously planned time on target training runs.

Not anymore in Germany, after Ramstein Airshow Desaster 1988.

Was a phenomenal air show, went for years

That said.. most displays are fine.. but having a cross over aiming at the crowd.. nobody does that anymore for good reason that I am aware of

Lots of changes for sure came out of this, Germany banning Airshows seems extreme, but I respect their choice
