last friday was the start of our weekend airshow at point mugu naval base.thats where my dad works.friday went off without a problem and it featured the thunderbirds.all my life i never seen them preform here.i caught a glimps of them that friday from my backyard here in oxnard.saturday comes around and the show started at noon.a couple hours into it and i hear our windows rattle just like an after shock or sonic boom.the whole day passes by and i'm wondering why i did'nt hear any more planes or see any in the sky.my brother comes running out the room and he yells CHANNEL 4 CHANNEL 4!!!
right there before our eyes we see on the news an F4 phantom peal away from a 6 plane figureation during a low fly exhibition and it turns to it's side a couple flashes of afterburn flicker and the plane wobbles.the plane starts to fall out of the sky and one of the pilots eject.the plane crashes and a big ball of fire explodes and the pilot is engulfed in the flame.2 men died.one of the men in the plane did not eject,the one who did did'nt even have a chance.they were too low for the parachute to even open and catch air.
rest in peace to those who passed last saturday.
