[simpits-tech] Once again...

Guess Gene's ducking because of that... ;-)

THUNDERBIRD DOWN!
Shortly after 3:15 p.m. yesterday, an U.S. Air Force Thunderbird was 
lost during a flight display at an air show in Idaho. Early reports say 
the pilot ejected safely, but his F-16 was dramatically destroyed in 
front of a crowd of thousands when it crashed on airport grounds at the 
Gunfighter Skies Air Show at Mountain Home Air Force Base. Witnesses 
told the Idaho Statesman the aircraft had performed a vertical climb and 
roll, pulling over the top, but as it dove, appeared to be "dropping 
like he had no control." Pilot Kris Stricklin of Nellis Air Force Base 
(Nevada) was treated by military medical personnel; the aircraft left a 
burning path near the control tower.


Best Regards
Katy Pluta
