Fine, but surely if the achieved loss rate is projected to fall below the optimal one, then the optimal way to compensate is something else than crashing planes at airshows? Like, I don't know, dismantling for spares. Or scrapping. Or even target practice.

Air shows are pilot flight hours training. This could've happened on any random training exercise just the same.

Flight hours are one the key differentiating factors in air force quality and a major US advantage is that their pilots have a lot of them.
