"There's a guy on short final with a bazooka but otherwise winds are 210 at 10, cleared to land" 🤦🏼♂️

My sincere apologies. When I opened it, it showed the Fairchild crash. There was certainly no disrespect intended.That's the 1994 Fairchild airshow crash.20 years ago, PBD-720 announced the retirement of the U-2. I was interviewed in the press and said "the last U-2 pilot isn't out of elementary school yet". I should have said "the last U-2 pilot isn't out of kindergarten yet". https://www.upi.com/Defense-News/2006/01/04/Pentagon-to-retire-U-2-spy-plane/88231136416087/Navy has grounded four of their five demo teams. Only the Blues are not affected. The Navy treats demo teams very differently than the USAF. Will they adopt more of a "USAF model" in the future?As more info leaks out from the test world on the T-7, it's going to be embarrassing. The T-50 would have been a nice alternative. And the T-50 is a nice Airshow aircraft.Oh, stop it. We turned it all around with the resoundingly successful T-7 acquisition.Having personally seen pilots being unfairly hung out to dry by over-zealous leadership, I would sure like to know more details about this event.Happy birthday to the 1st Reconnaissance Squadron at Beale AFB 113 years old today. In 1916, the 1st invaded Mexico to try to capture or kill Pancho Villa. Probably didn't get much per diem.
