	Airshow: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		An airshow is an event at which aviators display their flying skills, normally to the public, but occasionally to invited guests, or employees and their families only.
		Some airshows are held for commercial motives, gaining income from onlookers or from companies hoping to sell aircraft, but many are held to raise funds for charities.
		Wherever children are allowed to look inside military aircraft, remember that these are not furnished in the style of a passenger airliner; much apparatus protrudes from ramps, floors and fuselage sides in a helicopter or aircraft designed for soldiers or bulky cargoes.

		The aircraft, flown by two experienced pilots, entered a rolling manouevre with a downward trajectory at low altitude; having rolled upright once more the aircraft was still descending rapidly and the left wing dropped shortly before the aircraft hit the ground, at which point the crew initiated ejection.
		Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma publicly blamed the military for the disaster and dismissed the head of the air force, Volodymyr Strelnykov.
		Although the pilots have been convicted and imprisoned, since Toponar is still in the process of appealing his conviction, it still remains to be conclusively seen whether the pilots could have avoided the accident given the combined possibilities of engine failure, orders to fly without sufficient training, and a flawed flight plan.
