With Ken's pics of the Snowbirds they seem like a 'home team' to me, I hope they can sort out what happened.

The good news is, I saw them flying over the bay today while I was at a funeral detail, so they are still performing for fleet week.

Godspeed to those involved in the crash

Well I did see them perform today they were great but I was reading some other articles from that website when they identifyed the people in the crash and im pretty sure I read that there was no collision and that it was a problem with there airplane or something like that.

I was thinking this morning as I saw them fly if they crashed recently because of there airplane maybe an engine failure or something or maybe becuase there jets are getting a little old and used up wouldent that be the same for all the jets. They might be all in danger if that is the case but I dont exactly know how many jets they use, how the crash happened, or how good there jets are now.

Just a thought.. :-/
