Yeah, 2 in 1 day is odd, but 2 in the same team position!?!?!? Both of the aircraft were #6 Opposing Solo aircraft/position in each team. That's downright weird. From what I've seen the BA pilot rode it in, to steer the jet away from people and buildings. Rest In Peace Capt Kuss
Exactly, when I heard about the second incident I just assumed that the "media" mixed up Tbirds vs. Blue Angels as most people do not really know the difference (like "Piper Cubs" and Lears being the only GA airplanes the public can ever remember).
The BA pilot was also from Colorado
It seems not unusual that one would be more prone to crash since it involves flying head on one against 5 into the rest of them.
UM go find something to comment about that you understand like why birds fly and fish swim.

At those altitudes do they have time to re-light an engine if it flames out from jet wash?
