@TimiMcV Sure buddy, Make Poland look awesome. Last time I checked they were sending boat loads of Americans to live in the "great" Poland. I'm sure Poland is awesome, But get off America's dick and go bother someone else. I'm too fucking cool to be caught dead talking to some Polish liberalist. Have a great day dupek. America>Poland. Nuff said.
how could people be so stupid beleiving the garbage that is spitted by rush linbaugh and sean hannity whoever approves their shit should check their head gente pendeja
@xtrmskr1025 and @ panik808: While the members are active military, they're not doing shit to protect us in the two years they're flying around overhead. Flying over fields across the country = defending our borders? Nope. Are they gaining intell on our country's enemies? No. They're wasting precious fuel and government funds to do what? Show how great our naval air squadron is? The whole idea of the Angels was to get the public interested so the Navy could get a bigger budget. Politics.
@Mattheyou28 YOu are a complete idiot, The pliots of the Blue Angels are active military personel so they are out there protecting the US. ONce selected the serve for 2 yrs then return to active duty. As for you comment on taxpayers money the are millions of Americans the enjoy what they do and have no problem with the money spent.
@Mattheyou28 You Really need to watch what you say when referring any military aviators. I agree with panik808 about your under educated opinion. Every one of those pilots are American heroes who are CURRENTLY serving out country and protecting our borders so we have the freedom to even sit here and comment on this video. Get your ducks in a row before running your mouth. You sound like you obviously have no clue what its like to serve your country and sign that dotted line.
We just recently saw the show and was amazed by the wonderful performance. Had me thinking about this horrible tragedy.. It would not offend me to see these professionals wearing their g-suits.. I was curious though as to why the plane cannot be at least eqquipped with a safty device that returns the plane to level flight should the pilot "let go" of the stick in the case of a black out.. yes it is dangerous, but blacking out and dying seems unnecessary

the cromagnons gave rise to the basques, the original white people and original europeans who settled in Atlantis, Egypt, Greece & Rome,troy,sumeria mesopotamia etc and laid down the foundations of western civilisation. The Basques were the first explorers too, known as the Vanir to the Vikings n settled America n many places many thousands of years before the Vikings did. The Basques have the original European language & the most rh-blood and first settlers to the British isles & Ireland.
dude had you been on that airshow? what really happened if you can share more, there is no video anywhere showing an actual impact, just him going down and big smoke... thanks in advance
I believe he turned too hard, pulled excesive Gs, blacked out and went down. I don't think he had time to bank away from houses or say "Oh Shit", or anything. Blue Angel pilots don't wear G suits when they perform. This is their control column or "stick" is configured differently than a standard F-18. They have to physically use a wider range of motion on their sticks while flying and an inflated G suit would hinder this. Standard F-18 sticks are too sensitive for formation flying.
@nev594 No, you schmuck, learn what you're talking about before you start. First, standard F-18's fly in formation on a regular basis, just maybe not as close as the Blue Angels.. Second, there is no difference in the controls of the Blue Angles F-18's than those flown by other naval aviators. The reason the Blue Angels do not wear G-suits is because when flying in the tight formations they do, sometimes with clearances as small as 18 inches, the inflation of the g-suit could cause problems.
@jimbk17 actually you are wrong...... The controls are slightly different on a blue angels f-18. The stick has a weight attached to it so there's more tension and less slack and slop. It has something to do with the feel of the stick and how close they fly to one another. And I know this because I had a chance to talk to the number 6 solo pilot back in 2000 during an airshow here in Milwaukee.
But still, what he could have done is bank the plane away from the houses and then eject to make sure it crashes somewhere other than the houses. And even if he had control over the plane to turn away from houses, he could have pulled up out of te crash, right? But u could be right, and if so what a great guy!
You suck. Why would you even say that when it isn't true? Americans have always ruled the sky since the beginning of flight. We have airplanes years ahead of other countries' jets. And all of those counties buy the planes we make, so suck it. I am American and I don't know about you but I do not appreciate comments like that. I am not sure about this fact, but I am pretty sure the country of the United States of America has never lost a major war in it's history. Just because a tragic
@brehnden Ever heard of Vietnam? think you may have lost that one. You were also heavily involved in Korea. Iraq didn't exactly go to plan nor has Afghanistan. Still maybe you might get lucky in Lybya?
These pilots r trained to sustain G forces up to even 10 G's. No maneuvers that tight r used in air shows. This must be a mechanical error. But still he was at an angle where he could have ejected if it was locked....weird.....
@brehnden The pilot blacked out due to the excessive g's pulled in the turn back to rejoing the formation. This was one of his first performances in front of an audience. He was unable to eject or anything else because he was not concious.
@jimbk17 This was NOT his first performance in front of an audience. According to the investigation they believe Kevin was awake, but disorientated from the high G turn. There was evidence that he was trying to correct his path before it crashed. This gentelman took celebrities for rides in the F18 and earned the Air Medal, two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals, and various personal and unit awards, attended TOPGUN, accumulated 2500 hours jet air time along with 200+ carrier landings.
Imagen being one of the other planes and looking down and seeing your fellow pilot's plane in flames on the ground, I would not be able to to continue the show like nothing happened
@umpalumpa101909 They didn't continue the show like nothing happened, they executed the last manuever of their show, the carrier break which is used to decrease speed and setup for landing. These are highly trained military pilots. Unfortunately, the risk of seeing one of comrades go down always exists, but when that happens, you must adhere either adhere to the three rules of flight or become a stistic yourself (1. aviate 2. navigate 3. communicate) You stop flying and you crash too.
@jimbk17 yeah, i'm just saying that if i was a pilot and just saw someone crash i would find it very difficult to continue, (Probably, obviously it has never happend to me so i would never know)
@tmdffn they do its called G-Loc i havent read into how he crashed but i am thinking thats how it happend before he went down he did a high G turn i am suspecting he blacked out there
Can someone tell me if they completed the show as if nothing happened. I am currious. The other 6 would not have know whether the pilot was alive or not.
@mrbrightbill ... they finished the show.. but one was constantly circuling the crash sight i was there by the runway with my family when it happened.. Jason Cage did not survive the crash.. RIP.
@mrbrightbill 'HHMM.. I WONDER IF HE IS ALIVE!? THERE IS ONLY A HUGE ASS FIREBALL IN A ONE MILE CRATER DOWN THERE! HE MUST STILL BE ALIVE!!!" dude.. are you always that stupid? or are you trying today..?
The greatest job in the world performed by men with more guts than the spineless idiots who say otherwise. RIP to the pilot who died doing something he must have enjoyed.
These brave men deserve medals cause i for one couldnt go through or do what they can. Being so close as part of a team and then to see a fellow team member crash to the ground, must be a terrible sight to witness and hear over the radio
I also hope to one day be an onerary pilot like one of these guys. Flying jets has also been my dream. I am 11 years old the day I post this comment. May the pilot and his peers rest in gods hands. These guys are the best of the best so show them some respect for serving our country! Rest in Peace. <3
did the flight commander to a flyby with a pull up (signifying a loss, not sure what you call it) on purpose or was it part of the stunt? RIP Kojak, you own the sky now.
did you show the crash in the video? i just found out about this and am pretty shocked. my heart goes out to the family of Lt. Cmdr. Kevin J. Davis and the Blue Angels. i have a brother in the Navy flyin' ea-18g growlers and i pray for his safety every day. rest in peace Kojak.
@bunnybaaaby he blacked out after experiencing 7 "g's" or the equivalent to 7 times his body weight, and he was in a turn, his plane slammed into the ground and he probably hadnt awoken from his blackout.
My heart goes out to the family of Lt. Cmdr. Kevin J. Davis, teach the angels how they should really fly.
Its easier to spend the 20 seconds it takes to look up information on their website about the G-suits, than to spend 3 hours arguing to defend a comment that is offensive to not only the family of Lt. Cmdr. Kevin J. Davis, but other fellow blue angels as well. You don't have to be a genius to search for the information, but you definitely would have to be a dumb-ass to make such an ambiguous ignorant statement.
"The Blue Angels have a spring tensioned pressure installed on the control stick that gives the pilot a false feel. This allows the pilot minimal room for uncommanded movement. The pilots rest their right arms on their thighs for support and stability while flying. Therefore, inflating and deflating air bladders in a G-suit would interrupt this support and stability, causing uncommanded aircraft movement. In this case, G-suits would detrimentally impact flight safety"

US spends more than $1 trillion every year on militaryt related spending what a friggin joke and then idiots wonder why we are going bankrupt. $10 trillion wasted on so called defense spending since 911, anyone think we got a great bang for our buck? LMFAO
@bluetiege you seem to forget that airshows pay these guys to fly at shows.. i was last years 106 demo team and they paid for everything includig flights, and reinburst the teams for fuel as well. 2nd off... u should grow up and lear to show some respect for a fallen aviator that probably did more in that show alone then you have in your life. as far as spending.. squadrons have budget cuts. 300k a day ad you blow a 24k turbine.... it has to be put off. that's where the money goes to... defense

@med1279 that is true but unfortunately he did crash into a neighborhood. the plane went through several houses and vehicles. it is very sad. the Blue Angels were created to promote military flight programs. the Blue Angels represent the USMC and the Navy. i hope to one day to have the honor of being a Blue Angels pilot. The pilot was Lieutenant Commander Kevin 'Kojak' Davis. when Commander Davis pulled back into a 6.8 G pull, he lost control of the airplane due to the effect of greyout. RIP
@med1729 that is true, but unfortunately, he did crash into the neighbor hood. he experienced a greyout from the G forces. god bless his soul. it was his first time doing a demonstration. poor guy. the pilot was Lieutenant Commander Kevin 'Kojak' Davis. A report was released on 15 January 2008, The report says that when Commander Davis pulled back into a 6.8 G pull, he lost control of the airplane due to the effect of greyout. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL. RIP

They are flying over San Francisco all day doing stunts now. Noise pollution and a risk to the public. Wish they would piss off to the boonies where people like to see these events.
@Steeplerot it's obvious that you have no respect for the military, or even this great country. it's truly a shame there are people like you in this country. Why don't you and your kind leave, until you can get some respect for our superior military, or you can get some respect for this great country, if that's even possible.
@Steeplerot You don't like it you can move. Its cause of men and women in the services, you get to enjoy your life. So say thanks to these individuals who put their life on the line for you.
also you anti govt morons his parents was in the crowd watching, how many pos have parents that care about you, they were doing something they love being watched by people who love them, so why dont you pos's move to some other country if you dont like this one you have that right.
you asswipes with your anti govt propaganda, go take it to some other board that gives a fu*k, they were putting on a show for the people that care about this country and the ppl used to protect it, and someone died doing it. Have some respect for the people that protect your freedom and say something decent for the guys that work hard doing that, thank you all tones the navy ppl that do what you do. these lil asswipes should be thanking all of us. never will they say that to anyone's face
@steveo451 amen brother as being a pilot myself for this county il be the 1st to tell u its a hard life but we go thuro it so we can keep this country the way we have it now not saying it the best its ever been right now but were makin it so we have the time to get back to normel before we get overtakin by someone else may he rest in peace with the lord
You did an outstanding job showing him respect and dignity. As you stated, he and his team did everything they could and should.
I'm sure the rest of the team was devistated, but still kept flying. For that reason alone, they all deserve a standing ovation. And that beautiful pilot is now flying above us, ALWAYS protecting his brethern. Way to go!
What ticks me off is that the Navy say's it was "pilot error" because he failed to strain and passed out. I think that's BS. Watch any vid of Kevin Davis doing a media flight on youtube, and you'll see him pulling high G's with hardly a grunt. The dude was awesome and the navy threw him under the bus. Just my opinion.
@tycoff i can understnad the feeling but in one of the other videos ive seen it looks very much like he just let the plane veer down (or he was out cold). ether way its very sad and he was a very nice, he let my son sit in the cockpit during an airshow we were at a while back. From that video is looks like it could of been a engine falure but they have ways of finding that stuff out and could not hide if from everyone.
@brian4480 Like i said, it's just my opinion. I'm not privy to the facts of the crash investigation, but the Navy has a history of eating it's own. Remember the USS Indianapolis fiasco? The navy denied a destroyer escort to the ship after dropping off A-bomb parts at Tinian, then went so far as to bring in the Japanese sub skipper that sank the Indy, to testify for the prosecution at Mcvey's courtmartial? Two different era's and situations, i know, but it's the navy way.
I was there when it happened....im sure it's happened before, nothing's stopping it from ever happening again. I watched him go down when i was a boy. i watched it with my own eyes. Yet, it didn't deter my dreams of being a fighter pilot for the U.S.Navy. God bless those who have died, and who are serving in our Military and armed forces. Semper-Fidelis men! Semper Fidelis....
omg, its very sad to see this, im fortunate not to witness this in person... i saw these guys in 2010 air and water show here in chicago, and they r awesome, i salute the pilots...
So sad that even with knowing one of their colleague was dead, watching the smoke coming out of the trees, they still, gonna have to finish what they've started, to entertain the viewers.

@Jexyyyy then u go fly a f-18/a hornet and do all the stunts and come back and say i did it something interfered with the plane if u actaully read up on things
@Jexyyyy Oh my fucking god, if you did read up on it, you would see that the crash was caused by LIFT FAILURE! It happens if a stunt is pulled to harshly and it causes the plane to lose control, it is unable to lift itself up, and that causes the plane to crash. It could happen to any pilot.

Unfortunately, the risk of seeing one of comrades go down always exists, but when that happens, you must adhere either adhere to the three rules of flight or become a stistic yourself (1. aviate 2. navigate 3. communicate) You stop flying and you crash too.

@jimbk17 yeah, i'm just saying that if i was a pilot and just saw someone crash i would find it very difficult to continue, (Probably, obviously it has never happend to me so i would never know)

Do they not wear G suites? Every time you see vids or are at a show they walk to the planes in basic flight suites.

"A G-Suit would have saved his life"
Its easier to spend the 20 seconds it takes to look up information on their website about the G-suits, than to spend 3 hours arguing to defend a comment that is offensive to not only the family of Lt. Cmdr. Kevin J. Davis, but other fellow blue angels as well. You don't have to be a genius to search for the information, but you definitely would have to be a dumb-ass to make such an ambiguous ignorant statement.
Orangebike666 1 year ago
Why they dont use G Suits
"The Blue Angels have a spring tensioned pressure installed on the control stick that gives the pilot a false feel. This allows the pilot minimal room for uncommanded movement. The pilots rest their right arms on their thighs for support and stability while flying. Therefore, inflating and deflating air bladders in a G-suit would interrupt this support and stability, causing uncommanded aircraft movement. In this case, G-suits would detrimentally impact flight safety"

The pilot was Lieutenant Commander Kevin 'Kojak' Davis. when Commander Davis pulled back into a 6.8 G pull, he lost control of the airplane due to the effect of greyout. RIP

What ticks me off is that the Navy say's it was "pilot error" because he failed to strain and passed out. I think that's BS. Watch any vid of Kevin Davis doing a media flight on youtube, and you'll see him pulling high G's with hardly a grunt. The dude was awesome and the navy threw him under the bus. Just my opinion.

@tycoff i can understnad the feeling but in one of the other videos ive seen it looks very much like he just let the plane veer down (or he was out cold). ether way its very sad and he was a very nice, he let my son sit in the cockpit during an airshow we were at a while back. From that video is looks like it could of been a engine falure but they have ways of finding that stuff out and could not hide if from everyone.
brian4480 1 year ago
@brian4480 Like i said, it's just my opinion. I'm not privy to the facts of the crash investigation, but the Navy has a history of eating it's own. Remember the USS Indianapolis fiasco? The navy denied a destroyer escort to the ship after dropping off A-bomb parts at Tinian, then went so far as to bring in the Japanese sub skipper that sank the Indy, to testify for the prosecution at Mcvey's courtmartial? Two different era's and situations, i know, but it's the navy way.

They probably had some sort of contingency plan as how to end the airshow in the event if one of them went down.

@Jexyyyy Oh my fucking god, if you did read up on it, you would see that the crash was caused by LIFT FAILURE! It happens if a stunt is pulled to harshly and it causes the plane to lose control, it is unable to lift itself up, and that causes the plane to crash. It could happen to any pilot.
