Thunderbird Crash Footage
Many thanks to this group's own John Osterhout for forwarding me these cool
videos of the Thunderbirds crash from last fall: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/aviation_videos.htm There are two separate videos -- one shot from inside the cockpit (that many of us have seen, but is still remarkable) -- and one taken by a spectator that I'd never seen before. It shows the entire event from start to horrible finish. Having seen the T-Birds do their show dozens of times, flawlessly, it's still hard to believe that they made such a simple mistake. (The final judgment was that the pilot had set his altimeter incorrectly, resulting in insufficient altitude for the maneuver.) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
