23 people killed in the Blue Angels since 1946. The Thunderbirds have lost a good 20 since 1953 even if you don't include the freak crash of a C-123 transporting personnel to an air show.

I know we all love jets, and they are truly beautiful, but it seems like a waste to lose these good men (and women?) to flashy show boating. They already risk their lives, why play with them...

Only a matter of time if you press the issue....respectively.

With respect to all that have fallen and carry on the good fight on the other side.
