I saw that on the six oclock news, nasty crack up,
they said its to soon to know what caused the demolition. Not that I would understand the tecnical terms any way other than a G factor or wind shear...
I am asuming there was no one else hurt, cause they didnt mention any one other than the pilot.

That's a shame man. 32 year old "Lite" Colonel. Seems young to be flying an air craft in that fashion. I could be wrong though, i'm no pilot.

they said he was if I remember correctly he was number 26 since the flight team began in the 1940's.
they said it is a low mortality rate, I was thinking it was high, when you concider that on avrage every other year some one is your squad is going to have a flight axident....
I could be wrong, that is depending on the number of people actualy on the team at any given time...
I think it is a bit more dangerous as the press makes it out to be... I see them all the time, but I am 40 miles west of southridge airforce base... and if we are ice fishing out there you can feal thier draft when they fly over [shocked] Hold Your Ears...
