First reports are that it was No. 6 as well as some homes are afire.
Apparently went in while in formation and at low altitude.

sad indeed...the angel team members are some special
navy talent...that's for sure !!!

i am thinking it was a bird strike or low level stall....it
was fast whatever the event was...as there was apparentally
no time to steer clear and punch out.....

thoughts and prayers to all effected......

Actually, it is being falesly reported that it was his first show. He was
the # 7 pilot last season and has been # 6 since the first show at El Centro
this year in March.

Looking at the video that's going around the web it may very well be
a GLOC, he made a hard turn to join then the nose falls through ....
it's painful to watch.
