Sure is irritating to listen to the media report the crash of a Blue

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?

Also either Fox or CNN couldn't decide whether or not one of the pilots
might have been a woman. Believe the Blue Angels home page could answer
that really quickly.

Where do they hire these idiots?

Evidently from acting schools, not journalism classes. Katie Couric, the
sweetheart of CBS news (who seems like a really nice woman, just not a
particularly smart one), lost me forever when she exclaimed as 7X7 number
two hit the tower two, "Don't those airplanes have navigation systems?!?"

This is the Tiffany network's news anchor, handsomely compensated to the
tune of $15M a year.

that pays for their military, you would think they would want to know
more but they are comfy with their latte's and laptops.
