US F-16 pilot Captain Taylor Hiester expressed shock and discomfort as Dubai Air Show went on after a Tejas fighter jet crashed killing Wing Commander Namansh Syal. Hiester's team, along with others, cancelled their performances out of respect, but he said when he returned to the site after an hour, he saw the crowd enjoying the show and the announcer hosting the show with unabated enthusiasm.
