Pilots ok, but they lost the public affairs officer.

RIP Miss Casey. A sad day. I’ve seen the Snowbirds and they put on a fantastic show. Hope they find the cause and prevent it from ever  happening again.

This is so tragic and feels kinda pointless too , I have a whole bunch of questions and will probably write my own post if I feel up to it.

I don’t want to jump to conclusions but watching the Snowbirds at the airshow over the summer I kept thinking there’ s always an added element of danger to their performance because those are such old airplanes.

I have to wonder if this is the end of the team; there hasn’t been the money for new planes for the last 20-30 years. If they determine that’s what’s needed it’s certainly not going to happen given Covid. T his wasn’t a crash into a field either; they hit a residential neighborhood, it’s a miracle they didn’t kill anyone on the ground.
