I wrote, quoting Jim :

The more they ramble the more anyone with any aviation background
recognizes these folks haven't a clue. *For example; who went down?
Well let's see the aircraft are numbered 1 thru 6. *Which one isn't
on the flightline?


I heard the Fox guy WHO HAS FLOWN WITH THEM say they do airshow
maneuvers in excess of Mach 1. *Yeah, okay.


And the CNN website has been saying all day that the last crash
involving the Blues was in 1999. *(It was, in fact, in 2004.)


This morning, CNN's caption noted that a "Blue Angels stunt plane" had
crashed. *"Haven't a clue" seems a pretty mild way to put it.


That the military precision flying teams/planes/pilots are considered
"stunts" by the general media has unfortunately been around for ...
just about forever ... it seems.
