Navy Blue Angels Fatal Crash

[SkipperSue]

I hate to post this but I know we have several aviation buffs here, me included.
My prayers and thoughts go to these fine men and their families, and to all others that were involved or hurt.

Their performances seem so sanitary and professional you'd never think they loose a pilot. But they do.

In the article, one person said that birds can be a problem. Not much you can do if a bird decides to get in your way. It is an unfortunate accident. I've seen the T-birds about a kabillion times but I've never watched the Blues.

The loss of this pilot makes me sad.

We were camping at Hunting Island S.C. (about 15 miles from Beaufort) We only heard a couple of jets. Never heard the crash or anything. Didn't know about it until we got home.

Man, when I was a kid I use to see the Blue Angels at Lockheed/Dobbins AFB. I saw some great shows.

And a family that was best friends with my mom & dad, they're son was the commander of the Thunderbirds. He was recently featured on Dogfights on the History channel. So yeah, I hate to hear when one of these fellas go down.

Oh yeah, pics of the Tear and Hunting Island coming soon.
