May 17May 17 Man, that could have been really bad and crazy lucky that they all made it out without issue. That was really weird how both jets were in sync after hitting each other. And also...WTF? How did they manage to do that?
May 17May 17 Two has some spalining to do...parroting other holy cow lucky they all got out and didn't get tangled up. I thought it was AI at first...they were stuck together after first contact.
May 17May 17 Another good question is going to be why do we have Growlers flying air show profiles? Did you really need an LDHD two ship to do a routine that would probably look exactly the same in slick hornets?
May 17May 17 Hopefully someone kicked some rudder because lead got lucky with having enough space to eject.Since everyone made it and are OK: Rejoin to the piggyback position? Is that a new Ace and Gary maneuver? Edited May 21May 21 by disgruntledemployee Image added.

May 18May 18 Were these Growlers from the same squadron that crashed on the low level last year at Whidbey? Doing a little research and I’m ascertaining that all Growlers are based in Whidbey? Edited May 18May 18 by Vito

Maybe they are new to the demo team, but it was sad display compared to having seen the same demo team in the past. Certainly nothing like the Viper demo.
May 19May 19 Blancolirio said their airshow flying was an additional duty. Well, that should just about take care of the airshow demos in the Growler. Glad they all got out, but why a colossal waste of money and not a good look for Naval Aviation. Edited May 19May 19 by precontact
May 19May 19 We need about 300% more Growlers…but yeah, let’s burn some on airshows for no good reason. Dumbasses. Glad they’re all alive.
