Blue Angel down in S.C.

RightThrust · 04-21-2007, 04:03 PM

Just got word a Blue Angel went down possibly in a neighborhood in S.C. just shortly ago. Anyone who has any info let us all know what's going on. I hear the pilot is alive but don't hold me to that. He would obviously had to have ejected if he is alive.

Breaking News: 'Blue Angel' jet crashes at Beaufort Air Show

BEAUFORT, SC (WIS) - WIS has learned from its sister station in Savannah that a plane in the Blue Angels flying squad has crashed at the Beaufort Air Show.
WTOC tells us that the jet crashed Saturday afternoon while flying in the Blue Angels' performance. Eyewitnesses say the planes were flying in formation when one of the jets apparently crashed into a group of trees in a Beaufort neighborhood, starting several house fires.
It's not yet known if there are any casualties from the crash or fires, or who was flying the plane at the time.

Thoughts and prayers to the families. My JROTC was supposed to take some cadets to an airshow May 12th at Seymour Johnson AFB in NC. I hope they will still be able to do it but this may take some time.

The Angels have been through alot, this crash and a hurricane hitting their home base I think in Lousiana?

They're not call the Angels for nothing though

The pilot was Lt. Cmdr. Kevin Davis. He obviously tried to control
the aircraft all the way to impact ( did not eject ) in order to prevent
injuring anyone. The Blues are like our family here in Pensacola and this
stuff is really sad.
