I saw Thunderbird #6 hit the dirt today at Mountain Home Air Force Base, in
Idaho. Pretty spectacular. Pilot made it out OK. It looked like he either lost engine, or had a flight control failure. He was coming out of the first loop right after takeoff. Might have been coming in too low too quick, but he punched out at 100', so I kinda doubt it was that. As an F-16 crew chief for 9 years, it was pretty shocking to see. wrote in message .. .

Might have been coming in too low too quick, but he punched out at 100', so I kinda doubt it was that. Who knows at this point? Perhaps the jet was OK and he recognized he wouldn't pull out, or thought he couldn't pull out...bottom line, he's alive. Juvat |

A very short news article: http://www.kbcitv.com/x5154.xml?Pare...394&Layo ut=K BCI.xsl&AdGroupID=x5154 There is some video, but it doesn't show the crash, just the four-ship takeoff and the aftermath of the #6 crash. All you can really see is a big cloud of black smoke. -- Tom Schoene Replace "invalid" with "net" to e-mail "If brave men and women never died, there would be nothing special about bravery." -- Andy Rooney (attributed) |

Just as a follow up , there is home video of the TB Diamond takeoff,
and then the fireball (no image of the solo inflight) here from KBCI Boise. http://tinyurl.com/nd1g Juvat |
