November 21, 20196 yr https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/31146/pair-of-u-s-air-force-t-38-talon-jet-trainers-involved-in-fatal-mishap-in-oklahoma Quote The mishap occurred at around 9:10 AM during what the Air Force has described as a routine training exercise. So far, there are no specifics about exactly what happened, but live feeds from local news outlets show that both jets departed a runway at Vance and that one of them flipped over entirely during the accident. https://www.pscp.tv/w/1ypJdBNYwMRKW

November 22, 20196 yr It was this time last year when Capt John "Trojan" Graziano died in a T-38 crash, and a year before that when Capt Paul "Stuck" Barbour lost his life the same way. Don't worry gents, Trojan and Stuck are two of the best men and pilots I've ever met and I know they are giving our Vance boys a royal welcome up there. They're in good hands. Nickel on the grass.

November 22, 20196 yr I can credit Lt Col Kincade almost entirely for preparing me to succeed on my instrument check. Phenomenal pilot. Rest easy gents. 🥃
