R.I.P Red No. 4

[TheHaso2011 152]

On the 20/8/11, one of the Red Arrows went down. The pilot was thrown from the Aircraft and died. This is a Place to Remember Him, Talk About the Red Arrows, and about the Crash. It happened in Bournemouth, England and I believe, as the plane was banking a sharp Right, the G-force caused the Pilot to Black out, and the Plane fell out of the sky. A similar Incedent Occured with the Blue Angels a Few Years Back.

Another Place to remember Red No.4 Here is here:

This article says he could have ejected sooner but stayed in the plane longer so he could steer it away from houses and into a field.

Sounds like there was a mechanical problem and he did what he needed to do so save the lives on the ground.

He may have blacked out from the G force at some point but it sounds like he was making selfless conscious decisions in the end.

This may Be the case. We shall have to wait for the Official Accident report to be released which could be a few days, weeks, month, Perhaps even years!

Today is 20/8/11 not 20/9/11. Unless there was a typo, today is a joyous day because it is my birthday and the anniversary of the fall of the USSR. Next month would be the tragedy.

This article says he could have ejected sooner but stayed in the plane longer so he could steer it away from houses and into a field.

Quite heroic if true. Regardless, my condolences to his family.

Truly a tragedy, with heroics. RAF pilots are some of the most incredible guys. They often train with us at Cold Lake, Alberta and join the Snowbirds on occasion. R.I.P.

How long do you reckon it will be before the Red Arrows take flight onceagain?

I thought the same thing.

My condolences to his family, friends, and the rest of the Red Arrows. Sacrificing his own life to keep others from being endangered is truly noble.

Moving to Current Events.

My condolences to the who was lost in the crash, his friends and family, but if he stayed in the plane longer to steer it from houses he may have saved some lives. And for that, I salute him.

PS, i'm not a pilot myself, but I plan on joining the USAF (Air Traffic Controller) after I graduate and maybe getting a pilot's license
