I was there too. I was stationed at RAF Fairford (an American). I looked up and turned to the Ambulance Crew standing next to me said, "That is one hell of a place to have a parchute exhibition with all those planes flying around..." They said "bloody Hell,....They just fucking crashed.." and off they went. I guess that was my "Forrest Gump' moment. Thanks for the video

The story continues..That night the neighbor kid (6 years old) asked me when and what time the plane crash was going to happen the next day for the air show. Boy was he pissed when I told him it was a one time good deal and he missed it.

@AntC1981 - Nah, the show was stopped for about 20 mins then it carried on. for a few more hours. I know - I was there (on Sat. 24th July 1993)

I was there. I was sitting on a 6,000 gallon jet fuel truck in the refueling yard watching the show. After they hit you could have heard a pin drop.

I remember seeing that black plume of smoke, I still got it in my mind now...... its so freaky.
I asked my dad "daddy what happened" I was only 5......... still visualise it and where i was.
I bet that was the end of the airshow.
