Air shows are a demonstration of the beauty of death. This isn't to say death is itself beautiful. Too often, it involves pain and suffering and is inflicted needlessly. Fighter jets are unequivocally instruments of such death. They are used to propagate war which, even when justified, involves the loss of human life. Many, however, find them beautiful. They are majestic in their power, shape, and movement and these minimalist images are evidence of their allure.
