Depends where you were, airshow has a box which has to be empty during the show. As for spectators, all the acts are designed to direct energy away from the crowd, so they really shouldn't be in danger, whereas someone sitting at the end of a runway would be in a direct flight path. the aerobatic box is 5000 ft wide, 1500' deep and is min 1000' from the crowd. so you could have been close.
