Was just there this morning before the first practice sessions. Waiting to hear back from a contact on the field at the time of the crash.

Seriously? The Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels crash on the same day?

1 fatality, "Unclear if it was the Pilot."

Apparently within an hour of each other. We couldn't believe it either. Hopefully the Navy bubba made it out alright too.

That is horrible news. What a painful day for the Navy family.

How sad. I wonder what happened and apparently he didn't eject either. It must be hell to have seconds to make decisions, try to maneuver your plane to not hit in a populated area if possible, see if you can rectify the situation and then to try and eject to save yourself. May not have been much time for anything. His poor family. Damn. RIP Capt. Kuss.

#5 confirmed dead. Rest easy shipmate.
