Default Blue Angels plane crashes

Well, I am going to continue with my usual rant: There is no
compelling reason for low level aerobatics! It should be banned...
Every airshow season some schmuck manages to turn his bird into
smoking wreckage while trying to prove he is the "best" at diving
within inches of death...


Why ban something that harms no one except the volunteers who do it?

In this case it appears that the flight leader took the maneuver below
the treetops and this unfortunate schmuck, who had his eyes glued to
the wing ahead of him, kissed a pine tree...
If I were the prosecutor in that county I would charge the flight
leader with involuntary manslaughter and take him to trial...


The dead pilot was doing what he loved to do. Nobody else was killed. Why do
you have a problem with that?
