Ferrous Beuler Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Sadly, I have just learned that yesterday during an airshow demonstration in South Carolina the U.S. Navy flight demonstration team, the Blue Angels, suffered a tradgedy which resulted in the loss of one of their own and injuring eight on the ground. The name of the pilot has not yet been released pending notification of his family. Unfortunately this is not the first time the Blue Angels have known loss. I personally witnessed this happen at an airshow in Niagara Falls N.Y. in the early eighties. I was stupified, not wanting to believe what I had just watch happen. The Blue Angels are the best of the best and yet from time to time this does happen. My condolances and prayers go out to this gentleman's family. Semper Fidelis and Amen.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irnsrgn Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 My kids used to work the air show at Offut as part of the Civil Air Patrol, and I always worried about them getting hurt or killed from an accident during the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
