Take to the Sky Episode 123: Ramstein Air Show Disaster

August 28, 1988 was a beautiful day for watching planes in the sky and on the ground at the Flugtag '88 Air Show held at the US Air Base in Ramstein, Germany. Three hundred thousand spectators couldn't wait to watch Italy's aerobatic team, Fecce Tricolori, and their ten jets fly in a death-defying formation.  In our latest episode of Take to the Sky: The Air Disaster Podcast, Shelly recounts how everything suddenly unraveled in the sky at Flugtag '88 and how this air disaster forever changed the way we look at air shows.
