No, I was not simply corrected, I was accused of being confused about the
name of the group. I never denied that I made a mistake. What I attacked
was having a typo mistake I made equated to the significant mistake made by
a news service by saying only two of the Blue Angels planes in the show were
flown by a single pilot.

Wrong. He accused me of being confused about the name of the group. I
never mentioned the name of the group, I referred to one solo performer
(Blue Angel #6). Unfortunately I made a transposition error and typed
Angle instead of Angel. That is a long way from being confused!


Wrong? No, you're the only one wrong here. You were called on a simple
error and instead of admitting it you attacked. That is wrong.

If you are going to correct me, get it right: Group: Blue Angels.
Individual
Aircraft: Blue Angel (as in Blue Angel #6. )

And it is not the same thing as confusing a solo performer with a
single pilot.

Well Jack, an angle is not an angel... (he had it right enough)

news One news story covering the crash said Blue Angle #6 was one of two
airplanes flown by a single pilot during the show. I do believe
they were confused by "solo" as applied to #6.

Jack G.

Same as you're confused about the name of the group? Angels, damn
it!

Even as late as today, Sunday, one AP release states:

"The squadron's six, F/A-18 Hornets routinely streak low over crowds
of thousands at supersonic speeds, coming within feet, sometimes
inches, of each other."

Where do they hire these idiots?

It used to be - on local TV channels - that they'd hire the prettiest looking (and not necessarily the smartest) women for "weather girl" roles. Since then they have apparently expanded the number of roles available to this demographic. If they look buff on the beach, can fog a mirror, and can remember their names without looking at their drivers licenses, they're hired.

Sure is irritating to listen to the media report the crash of a Blue
Angels F/A-18 at MCAS Beaufort.

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?
