Bad Day

Postby kham » Thu Jun 02, 2016 10:02 pm

Bad Day for the teams; Thunderbird went down in Colorado, and one of the Blues went down in Nashville. The Viper driver made it. The Blue didn't :(

Man, what are the odds? Surprising the Super Hornet driver didn't get out. :cry:

Wait, what? Same day, and it was the Six bird in both formations? (( cue twilight zone music ))

Interesting that the Viper seems to have decided not to follow tradition and make either a crater or a debris field. The pix look more like an emergency landing than the crash of a broken airplane without a pilot.

A classy gesture by a class act.

Thanks for sharing that. Great video, but sort of hard on the eyes. :cry:

Was a bit dusty. Doubly so, since this the real world. Blue #6 you can see, Right There, in that video they did last year that I posted.

This is a shot of T-bird 6 from earlier this year, he was gear down and preparing for landing when whatever went wrong did so in dramatic fashion causing him to eject
