Pilot survived. I doubt that his career did.

Thanks for the post. There’s a good little video over there that addresses this crash.

You can find videos of this Thunderbird pilot on the 'net. From all angles, including in-cockpit. (I've posted links to them here before, in fact).

Story I heard goes as follows: pilot rolls-out, takes off, enters loop, hits the tarmac due to uncalibrated altimeter and high-altitude airport. Pilot survives.

When last seen, that pilot, Captain Chris Strickland, was flying a desk at the Pentagon. Photo was taken by SSgt Bennie J. Davis III, USAF.
