I heard that this ‘race’ was banned in the UK, obviously for good reason.. :rolleyes:

That is a really dumb statement to make. That accident could have happened anywhere. Simply two aircraft racing who lost sight of each other on a turn, and sadly collided. Could have happened in Reno or even at the Schneider trophy in the UK last week.

If AERO GP is banned in the UK, I would imagine its got something to do with civilian aircraft carrying and dropping explosive ordinance. The racing they do is no more dangerous than the air races flown in the UK.
