Glad he survived, and also glad that they take further steps now from his error to help create a safer show for pilots and spectators.

I've seen both the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels in action - nothing short of amazing for either.

What do you mean, "convert metric to english" measurements? heh.

At least his mistake was only $20mil not the NASA $350mil.
