niart17 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Oh man. Glad everyone is ok. I'm guessing they won't be performing in Houston next weekend then. Was scheduled for wings over Houston with the Thunderbirds flying as well. Bummer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ikar Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I saw this team perform back when I was at Minot. They did a good mass ship formation takeoff and landing. Was it me or did she seem a bit surprised that the military was conducting the investigation? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin K Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Preliminary report just came out and apparently the engine lost thrust after rolling upright, from being inverted. Happened during the team's "shake out", prior to the show. Pilot also reported an "anomaly" during ejection. So now the investigation moves on to why the engine lost power after rolling upright, plus the ejection system. Jets are still in Atlanta right now, but an unconfirmed rumour says the jets are coming home some time this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
