Survived thecrash and flew again. I lived in the same building as him at Ramstein. He was a quarterback at UGA when Hershell Walker was there. Crazy accident,

This was not #6, it was #5, lead solo. After this winter training crash, Maj. John Switzer was recalled to the team. Maj Switzer had spent the previous 2 seasons as the team narrator, and served as lead solo for the '94 season to maintain rotational continuity.

@Tampaslice I think #6 is the newest member of the team, therefor the least experienced.

@Tampaslice It seems, being plane #6 is like beaming down to the planet, on star trek, wearing a red shirt.

@twinstu50

remember... it's not the fall that kills you, it's that sudden stop at the end that does... :)

Never heard about this crash. No matter what demo team has a crash it always seems to be plane #6 that buys the farm. What's up with that?
