Wow... they come to Seattle every year, and fly all over the city and suburbs. I wonder if the City will bring them this year...
Very sad.
ETA:
A Navy F-18 Blue Angel plane crashed during an air show Saturday, plunging into a small neighborhood of homes and trailers and killing the pilot.

Posted: 4/21/07 at 7:40pmThat's awful. Very sad news.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Posted: 4/21/07 at 7:45pmYes, but I wonder why it happened in the first place? Planes are tested thoroughly, it always raises eyebrows when a plane just seems to slowly drift down from its path and crash. No sign of explosion or trouble in the air?

Posted: 4/21/07 at 10:46pmthere's little time for recovery if something goes wrong during some of the maneuvers they do - under the right conditions it's even posible for the pilot to pass out
