I like them, closest thing to a Bearcat and they are 2 seaters. Condolences to the Pilot’s loved ones.

West Virginia University Hospital said that there are no fatalities as a result of the crash other than the pilot...Mueller did not have any details on the pilot's condition. I think it suffices to say that he died in the crash.

The Blue Angels have been flying over my house the last two days, and will perform again tomorrow. I couldn't help but say a prayer for their safety and also the fans.
What a great sight.
The sound of FREEDOM!

There was a Red Bull stunt plane at the Motorcycle Grand Prix race at Indianapolis last month. That guy was friggin’ amazing. But any type of mechanical failure on the plane would be instant death, because they fly so close to the ground a good bit of the time.
