Crash Blue angel and Thunderbird to day.....

Post by MISOS »

Zojuist op het nieuws in de USA. Blue angel jet gecrashed in Smyrna. Lot van de piloot onbekend.

2 uur eerder is er tijdens het voorvliegen in Colorado Springs een Thunderbird gecrashed. Piloot ok.

According to this news site The Blue Angels F/A18 was number 6. And the Thunderbirds F-16 was also number 6.

First of all it's a tragedy for those involved.

But it seems these 2 teams get struck by such tragedies more often than many other displayteams, isn't it ?
