No Need For Air Show Regulation Says Missouri Congressman

Missouri Congressman Sam Graves says those recent fatal crashes at air shows around the country are no reason for more government regulation of those events.

Graves, is a pilot, and leads a group of aviation enthusiasts on Capitol hill.

He says pilots are fully aware of the risks of flying and says there haven't been any spectators killed at air shows in this country since the 1940's.

Graves says air shows are different than air races like the one in Reno last week were 11 people were killed when a plane crashed into a crowd.
