All I want to know is why are those those two caterpillars holding that jet down,
and what is that third one planning to do?

UPDATE @ 2:38 p.m.
From Thunderbirds Facebook page: “The United States Air Force Thunderbirds were conducting a single-ship familiarization flight on Friday June 23, 2017. Upon landing there was a mishap at the Dayton International Airport with an F-16D Fighting Falcon at approximately 12:20 p.m. Emergency services are on the scene. We will provide more information as it becomes available.”
Weather related?
Only elections where Dems lose.
Ping and prayers up!
Media day
Just heard both crew got out safe.
Some reporter/celebrity got the full show. Hope no one was hurt.
Looks like weather was a factor.
Thank God for their safety! It looked like it just rained there. Did the jet skid and run out of runway?
Apparently a cold front has just gone through that area - a gust of wind caught them at just the wrong time.
