Chaser617 Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 From the reports I've been able to find it sounds like he took a bird at the end of the demonstation.
+Dave Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 I heard at the Barksdale AFB airshow today one of the T-Birds hit a bird and had to make an emergency landing. Not a good day to be a demo team.
Nesher Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 damn.... it was his first demo flight and it was almost over :\ what a waste..
Hawk MMS Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Do the Blue Angels wear G suits during their performance? My coworker heard that they don't wear them?
Caveman Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 no they don't.........don't really know why but they don't
Hawk MMS Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 My coworker stated that it is to keep the suit from interfering with the stick. I wouldn't think it would but...
+Major Lee Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 As the suit inflates and deflates, it causes motion, ever so slight motion, that moves the pilot about... just enough to interfere with smooth stick work... Smooth is the key in tight flying....
Caveman Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) well now that does make sence....still all in all very sad Edited April 28, 2007 by Caveman
