Thunderbird accident at DAY

Fri Jun 23, 2017 5:30 pm

I didn't know if this needed to be in Military since it is a military aircraft, or civil since it is an airshow. Fox News is reporting that one of the TBirds has crashed in DAY, awaiting any updates if someone has any or any speculation how it got on its roof?

I'm watching Fox News in my hotel and caught the tailing end of the story. The anchor said it was an incident during landing but I didn't catch anything else. I pray everyone is alright.

Nice reference.

Or a B-1 spools up its engines while you're taxiing behind it.
