Feels like it must be a movie shoot. What other reason would there be to fly that low in a populated area?

It's an annual airshow. They're over a wide river and well clear of buildings and people.

It's the annual Riverfire festival. Fireworks, etc.

That's terrifying. One wrong move, and you get a similar tragedy to one 20 years ago

It's not one wrong move. There is a buffer put into everything they are doing making sure that it would take multiple very specific actions to go wrong, with two people at the controls and two more monitoring their every move.

Damn, that's stirring up some bad memories. I thought I would be above that. I'm not even American.
