Two people were onboard the aircraft. Authorities say one of the pilots has been extricated from the plane. Crews are working to remove the second pilot form the aircraft.

Was the second person a pilot or local dignitary? These practice sessions are often used for promotional purposes.

I always thought the F-16 was called Fighting Falcon, not Thunderbird.

Heavy fog? It has been pouring rain all day in Dayton, so I doubt there was any fog. I love the MSM just making up their “facts”.

Also the passenger was safely removed a long time ago, about a half hour after the pilot. Both were in the hospital in good condition. Thepilot was reported to have some lacerations on his legs.

Man, that’s a $18.8 million (FY98) “mishap.”
($28.2 million in 2017 dollars.)

The F-16 is the Falcon, not the Thunderbird.

The time has come to end these vain/dangerous, totally unnecessary, exhibitions.

Air shows are fine, but these “stunt” acts are not worth the risks.
