Narrative:
I was giving training in a B-17 during airshow passes. Runway 31 was being used for the low passes with aircraft to remain left of center per FAA for crowd safety. On each pass I informed the trainee to make sure he stayed left of runway 31 centerline. On the third and last pass, he lowered the right wing to give the crowd a view of the top of the aircraft. That put the aircraft in a right turn and we crossed centerline. I immediately corrected back to the left but we were already right of runway 31. There was no doubt that we discussed on all 3 passes that we would stay left of runway 31 but I still let it happen.

Title: LOW ALT CIVIL OP IN A SPECIAL INTEREST ACTIVITY AIRSHOW GETS NEAR OR IN PROX OF PERSONS.
Narrative: I WAS GIVING TRAINING IN A B-17 DURING AIRSHOW PASSES. RWY 31 WAS BEING USED FOR THE LOW PASSES WITH ACFT TO REMAIN L OF CTR PER FAA FOR CROWD SAFETY. ON EACH PASS I INFORMED THE TRAINEE TO MAKE SURE HE STAYED L OF RWY 31 CTRLINE. ON THE THIRD AND LAST PASS, HE LOWERED THE R WING TO GIVE THE CROWD A VIEW OF THE TOP OF THE ACFT. THAT PUT THE ACFT IN A R TURN AND WE CROSSED CTRLINE. I IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED BACK TO THE L BUT WE WERE ALREADY R OF RWY 31. THERE WAS NO DOUBT THAT WE DISCUSSED ON ALL 3 PASSES THAT WE WOULD STAY L OF RWY 31 BUT I STILL LET IT HAPPEN.
