Yeah, its dangerous business pulling g's at low altitude. Not only does a pilots mind have to be in tip-top shape, but so does his body. Who knows why a highly experienced pilot went unconscious while pulling g's when a thousand times before he didn't? Perhaps he was fighting a cold, or got a poor nights sleep, or was even a bit dehydrated.
The Blue Angels trim their planes down, so a constant back pressure must be maintained on the stick. Lose consciousness and let got of the stick, and your plane goes down.

LtCdr Davis.... :(

Thanks for the links to the images.
Aquashrimp, your sideline speculating is out of line and distasteful IMO

Very Sad. :( I'm not sure there is any sight in the world that shatters me more than a flag draped coffin.

I didnt realize this was a mourning thread till after the time limit that I could edit the thread.
That being said, the pilot is dead. He will never see this. This thread is for us, and us only. It made me feel better talking a bit about number 6. If you are angry that I posted, so be it. I am sure that number 6 would rather me post about flying than feel sorry for him. I've seen him fly in 2006, I'm not sure if you all have. He was a good pilot and served his country well.
So, #6, and you cry-babies.

No one is crying. Almost everyone noticed you were being a pompous bloviating dipstick, though.
No one is feeling sorry for Lt Cmdr Davis either. Most were saluting him, and no one else felt they were qualified to comment on the crash.

I feel a PNG coming to a town near you.

Virgil Hilts, you are a complete pompous idiot. A gun loving, uneducated fool.
If you would like to finish this retort, I will gladly give you my phone number. But I bet you are coward enough not to pursue that.

I don't want your phone number little boy, I don't want to talk to you.
Coward? Not hardly. Disgusted with you? You bet.
By the way, I fully expect for this post and the other one to be edited, by Skuzzy or an MP. So be it.

Way to completely hijack a truly heart-felt thread dedicated to one of our fallen.
#6, you will be missed.

thank god we live in a country where the right to choose what to say isnt covernd by the taste or distaste of others, one of many rights that I myself and millions of others have joind the military to defend,,
So just let me say that you berating aquashriump for pointing out how the angels opperate was in poor taste, and you should perhaps be less opinionated when writing thx.
I saw the angels at Tyndall this year, nice show, this unfortunate occurance should point out that the pilot buisness will never be a safe one, and that is an uncompfortable truth...
But we dont love it because its safe...now do we?

No, I was wrong to allow myself to be baited into taking part in a hijack of the thread. I don't deserve any salute. I stand by what I said, I just shouldn't have stooped to the level of the original offender and posted it in this thread. That was wrong.
