Re: The Blue Angels
I remember that! That was probably the coolest part of the demonstration. Looked like he dropped in from over the Koolau range. I don't think he broke the sound barrier though. Close to it.
The air show continued today without the Blue Angels, but to honor the fallen pilot, who was identified as Lt. Commander Kevin Davis.
If you watch the video footage closely, it looks like he was rejoining the formation pulling a super-tight radius hi-G turn, possibly causing him to black out. Otherwise if it were mechanical failure, he should have had time to eject. Someone's gotta' have better video footage than the ones they've currently got.
