About 3PM CST today, Blue Angel #6 wend down about 4 miles from where I am. I've been able to hear details through Civil Air Patrol for the last couple hours as it's been going on. Earlier today, one of the Thunderbirds went down in Colorado. The pilot of the Thunderbird survived. The pilot of the Blue Angel has not been confirmed dead, but everything that I've heard points to it.
These teams (all branch poking jokes aside) are incredible pilots, and all of 'em I've ever encountered are fantastic guys and gals to work with. Best wishes, prayers and condolences to those lost and a sigh of relief and "thank you" to those who walked away today.
All of our service men and women - many of you on the forums - face the dangers of combat, training and day to day ops. We thank you all.
