A Class Act - Blues' Skipper Steps down.

[HackerF15E]

So I've been looking at the video for this flight, as well as the video of the Thunderbird that bottomed out of a loop at an airshow. What circumstances lead to not leaving yourself enough room at the bottom of a loop? Is it purely SA, or do environmentals, power available, weather, etc. play a role?

In the T-Bird crash, it was an incorrectly set altimeter.

My gut feeling tells me that it's the skippers who step down themselves, rather than the ones who are forced to leave, that are the ones you probably want to keep.

This couldn't be more true, and that never stopped anyone from missing the opportunity to pull a man down. Yet, there is always more to the story that isn't our place to know. We won't be able to sort who's who at this range. I hope it all works out.
