Why? The info is easy to find, so I guess people need their hands held all
the time? Great education system.

Tex provides correct information, local newsgroup troll attacks.

By the way Maron, what sock were you before you posted as Maron?

Sorry...the correct spelling is "Accidents" on the last entry. Wonder if my
spell checker disregards anything in quotes?

Hey, thanks for the tip, genius!

If you took your own advice, you'd see that there is very little out there.
Are you always this sharp or was this just a good day?

I saw Thunderbird #6 hit the dirt today at Mountain Home Air Force Base, in
Idaho. Pretty spectacular.

Pilot made it out OK.

It looked like he either lost engine, or had a flight control failure. He
was coming out of the first loop right after takeoff. Might have been coming
in too low too quick, but he punched out at 100', so I kinda doubt it was
that.

As an F-16 crew chief for 9 years, it was pretty shocking to see.
