Tragedy in the air

[ET Fish]

I'm sure this is not news, but I wish to pay tribute to Capt. Jeff Kuss, the #6 jet pilot in the Blue Angels. As this group was in Knoxville in April, Capt Kuss flew his solo formation over my house several times, not only during the show, but during rehearsals. I was thrilled to see this, and watched every maneuver Thurs through Sun. My prayers are with his family and also his comrades and fellow Angels.

Sad. There have bee a lot of military machines falling from the sky lately. I saw a newsreel with four navy captains showing how parts are being salvaged from other downed planes for repair of flyable planes. Our military shouldn't have to use junkyard parts to operate.

I didn't know that, but completely agree! As I'm sure you know, a Thunderbird also crashed yesterday. I guess our tax dollars are better spent on restroom concerns?

He is now with real Angels and prayers are sent.

I saw them fly Wednesday in Pensicola. He didn't fly that day because of a malfunction in his plane. Makes you wonder if it wasn't properly fixed.
