Makes me sad for the lives lost, Om shanti. Brings me back to the day (oct 2002) when in Goa, Navy lost 12 crew plus 3 on ground after 2 IL 38 maritime aircraft collided mid-air during silver jubilee celebrations of squadron and also 30,000 hrs of accident-free flying. Lost my close friends including my course mate. Though nice to look at formation flying from below but can be risky.

The NTSB has just released its preliminary report on this crash:

Not to much detail. But what is very telling;

There were no altitude deconflictions briefed prior to the show. From what I know, that is very unusual. The airboss needs to ensure that all pilots have assigned altitudes during these sort of manoeuvres.
