Do you remember when about 2-4 T-Birds pilots all crashed into the ground at Indian Springs during a practice session in the early 80's? I was there quite awhile after the crash and you could still see the black scar marks on the ground. Very sobering.

A friend of mine was an air force mechanic, and he had an aircraft he had worked on fly (he was a crew chief) into the side of a hill the day he signed off on it. He was sweating that one, even though the initial investigation showed both engines were turning when it impacted. It turns out the pilot had grabbed the wrong altimeter deviation card. I believe he worked on F-111's.

4 of them. T-38's.

Lead's altimeter malfunctioned - and the other three had their eye balls glued on his jet. Sad.

I was here for that one.

Yes, they were flying their T-38s wing tip to wing tip and followed the leader into the ground. The three Talons smacked the ground doing a similar maneuver as this T-bird did doing the split-S. The planes were too close to the ground when they executed their inverted flight turn.
