the last video i saw showed angel #6 in a very low,
high speed turn...doin' a "catch up" w/the group...i would
guess a g factor black out / bird strike / loss of
thrust.......just a "arm chair quarterback guess"
on my part....

Anybody heard anything yet? My best guess (and ONLY a guess) is bird

Anything would be appreciated...

Lots of airspeed, it seemed, even if he ate a bird or lost thrust
somehow, a zoom climb could have resulted, getting away from the
ground..I think the varsity turn to join may have put him to
sleep...just a guess tho.
