Title: Thunderbirds and Blue Angels Teams Both Lost Birds Today
Post by: 41magsnub on June 02, 2016, 05:20:31 PM
Both teams lost planes in crashes today in seperate incidents.  The Thunderbird pilot is fine.  The Blue Angel pilot reportedly did not eject.

At least a couple of the photos of the Blue Angel crash look like it was in a field pretty close to some houses.  Latest official word is the pilot couldn't eject in time, but I'm wondering if he rode it in to keep it in the field.
