Explained in plain English
Why do airshows happen?
Airshows like Eastbourne's are public events where aircraft perform displays. They celebrate aviation, entertain crowds, and often serve as recruitment drives for the armed forces. They also allow the public to see military and civilian aircraft up close, even when a star attraction like the Red Arrows can't make it.
