Didn't a BUFF go down at at airshow? Thought I saw the video.

Fairchild AFB, early nineties in an air show practice. Basically, the
pilot involved didn't think the rules applied to him and was well know
for his unsafe flying. A number of aircrew flat out refused to fly with
him and finally a significant number of the wing staff thought there
could be a problem and decided to fly with him. Unfortunately for them
the flight they were on was the one that crashed in front of the
cameras. A book was written about the complete lack of leadership that
led up to this accident.

In at least one, if not more, preflight briefings I've been in various
aspects of this crash were discussed under the safety and EP portions of
the brief.
