I think Mr. Chauvin is on to something, attitudes vary by geographic area sometimes significantly. Another aspect seems important too; My family and I do quite a bit of WWII living history and after many years of being part of airshows, vehicle shows, commemoratives, etc. we all noticed one thing - if there's a charge for people to attend the show, there's much better behavior. I've had this confirmed by aircrew as well who fly the warbirds in. Entrance fees mean people really want to be there and act accordingly. If there's no fee, Bubba and his 6 kids show up because it sounds like a cool day out for free where Bubba can show off. I tested this theory out a bit this year and discovered the shows I usually attend do charge a spectator fee. Both factors are probably operating.
