Grundar Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Brings the reminder home that these aircraft can be all kinds of dangerous for aircrew even in times of peace. The pilot who stayed with his craft to avoid civilian casualties was noble and heroic, plain and simple - in that moment he made a choice knowing the probable cost.

SkateZilla Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 I dont remember off hand how long they were grounded when Kojak crashed. They didnt release any official reports until close to 8 months later (April to January). They performed a 5 Ship Demo that weeked and The show immediately after,, and were grounded for a short time, they did cancel a few shows and brought in Former Solo Pilot LCDR Olsen to take the spot for the remainder of the season, the shows were cancelled while they rehearsed with Olsen.

-Rudel- Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I was stationed at MCAS Beaufort during that crash in 2007. I helped provide security at the crash site.
