A pilot at low level has no control over his aircraft.
It narrowly misses a crowd gathered for the airshow and slams into four buildings.
One can only imagine the horror of the occupants inside those buildings.

Model Spitfire at 1/5th scale
As the builder says himself: “The degree of detail is probably obsessive”
Below are pictures of a scratch built 1/5th scale Supermarine Spitfire MK 1 by an English model builder. It's hard to imagine such infinite detail can be accomplished even with super human devotion and dexterity. The pictures and accompanying text are by the model maker, David Glen.

NOTAM ( NOtice To AirMen )
Here's what happens when you don't properly "NOTAM" an airfield that’s having major repairs done.
A pilot flew a Hercules C130 Sherpa flew into a US operated airfield in Iraq during the day and saw there was construction equipment on the runway!!! Yet there was NO NOTAM (NOtice To AirMen) issued to pilots using the airport. He complained, but nothing was updated.
A repair trench was being dug in the runway to fix a large surface crack, and it was not NOTAMEd. But work continued….. And no one switched off the runway landing lights that night either……
It seems the construction continued into the night, and it still was not marked or NOTAMed. The next C-130 arrived that night and the pilot lined up to land on the runway and didn't see or know about the construction works. It wound up going through what is now a large deep pit on the runway.
The 4 engine C-130 was totaled / trashed. There were several injuries to the crew and the few passengers that were on board, but luckily no one was killed. Quite the set of major failures somewhere in the system regarding this improper construction and no notifications regarding it.
Pilots, remember to check for NOTAM messages before landing.
