I'm not a pilot so my opinion is worth what you guys are paying for it...

If it had been the Blue Angels, this wouldn't have happened. I suspect there's a pretty big difference between "a really great fighter pilot" and a "Blue Angels" pilot. I suspect the BA folks get a lot of very serious training that is specific to the type of stuff that happens at air shows.

Fortunately all 4 men walked away from that crash.

Maybe. But then maybe having regular pilots perform air show stunts is a bigger risk than their usual flying duties. Maybe the management that put them in that position is the problem.

You can plainly see neither jet was able to see each other.

It was an air show. Happens all of the time.
