Yeah I never saw that clip but I heard about it. I wonder how many G's he was pulling there??? He had to have been pulling really hard on that rejoin.

He was nose low and pulling, right? In that situation what is it you're supposed to do?

What are YOU supposed to do??? You are supposed to STFU and quit speculating until the Navy releases something "official".

Are you dense??? Stupid??? What is it??? I cautioned you once about this ... but you just keep drilling, don't you??? Consider this strike two ....

Perhaps it's time to lock the thread down again, until the Navy releases something official.

Agreed... Mods?

I say again...

Folks, this is serious stuff...as posted before:

it is not appropriate if you are officially or unofficially involved in Naval Aviation to speculate. AW honors that policy. The official Mishap Investigation is underway and you'll just have to wait until they sift through witness statements, video, aircraft wreckage and any recoverable data recording devices and make a determination. It takes time. Let the media do their thing as far as speculation (they'll be after those elusive ratings for sure). Let's just honor his sacrifice and career and think about those he left behind.

Asise submitted this excellent to "Kojak". Worth a look.

After being grounded in aftermath of the mishap in Beaufort, the Blue Angels are expected to return to the air to resume the season on 12 May.
