I used to go to those shows. I know there was a crash in a near by neighborhood at one but I also remeber being at one where a kid ejected himself from one of the planes on display. They used to let you sit in some of the planes on display. Somehow he got in and was able to launch the enjection seat. July 4th 1980 according to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_air_show_accidents_and_incidents_in_the_20th_century
