That’s definitely not true. Maybe it is in the US, but seeing machines go fast or tackle complex challenges isn’t a gender-specific thing. For example, 42% of Formula 1 fans are female. Plenty of women spectating and competing at drag strips, land speed, rally, etc.
The old conservative culture of assuming things of people or pigeonholing them based on gender—like, “attract and fascinate mostly men”—is not as relevant as it used to be back in the old days, nor should it be preserved.
…which aren’t (usually) paid for with taxpayer dollars
But I’m guessing doing air shows counts towards training hours, so they’re going to be flying those planes regardless. Still feels like a massive waste when two of them crash and burn in a show though
So are drag races and monster truck rallies. Big and fast machines attract and fascinate mostly men.

TIL 58% isn’t “mostly.”
Just over half is mostly?
That’s almost 50% more men than women

There should be an option of going to a simpler airshow. Planes takes off, circle the airfield and land, one after the other.
Like, i know im a little odd, but i would for sure attend this if it was affordable
