My thoughts and prayers are with my brothers in Alaska.

One of those on board was an ANC FO with Alaska airlines.

RIP

The first article I read about, did not list names but did mention a woman who said her son was a C-17 pilot who would be in the airshow and practicing that day, and that she had not been able to get any info from the base.

And tragically enough, her son was one of the crew.

Wow, thats tragic. Prayers for the crew, families, and C-17 community.

Airshows = tragedy in the AF

Airshows = tragedy in the AF

WTF is that supposed to mean?

 

[FFLSinHI]

Any word on a possible cause?

I think he was just making reference to several accidents over the years; The T-Birds back in the 80's, I think it was a 3 or 4 ship that crashed following their lead, the B-52 at Fairchild, the F-117 that came apart during an airshow, the T-Bird that hit the ground in Idaho and now the moose in ANC! I may have missed another one.

I think he was just making an observation that's all!
