Blue Angel crashes in Tennessee, Air Force Thunderbird down in Colorado | AL.com

A toast the Blue Angel and Thank God for the Thunderbird.

Who'da thunk! What are the odds of losing a Tbird and Blues jet on the same day? I bet the Tbird pilot wishes he could have shook POTUS's hand under other circumstances.
As for the Blues pilot...sad news....Nickel on the grass...

A fund has been set up for Kooch's family. It will never bring him back, but may help provide for his wife and kids as they learn to live life without him.

Navy lost 2 Supers a week ago Thursday off VACAPES, all 4 ejected safely. That's three in my book...and enough!
