Some of you may have heard some not, but the Snowbirds lost one of their own during practice this morning.  This just a small tribue to the Snowbirds.

No It was a Blue Angel  F-18 hornet that crashed in the Gulf. The Pilot ejected safely. It was two Canadian Ct-144 that crashed Killing one pilot the other ejected safely, In Moose Jaw Canada.  Pictured above is the U.S. Air force Thunderbirds F-16, It's  just one Team paying respect to another.

Wow, that's really terrible.  The Snowbirds put on a great show... hopefully the rest of the team will also be able to move on with another increadible year.  Will definately keep family in prayers.

:(

Our local paper (Moose Jaw Times Herald) had 3 pages about the incident, with lots of photos of the wreckage.
