what caused the blue angel's crash last april 2007 ?

Answer 1

Pilot incapacitation is being looked at, but the investigation is still on. The cause may never be found.

Answer 2

I believe the ground cause the crash.

Actually it was likely not pulling up from the ground soon enough, this is what caused a Thunderbirds crash a couple of years ago, when the pilot entered the manuever at the wrong altitude. The pilot in the Thunderbirds crash safely ejected. The reason Lt. Cmdr. Davis did not pull up has not been released. Blue Angels pilots do not wear G-Suits during air shows and there is a good chance that he blacked out while attempting to pull up the aircraft.

Answer 3

From the video I saw it appears he was trying to rejoin the formation for a low pass with all 6 aircraft. They were probably 200' off the ground at that point. He approached the formation from almost a 90 degree angle and tried to compensate by pulling extra hard in the turn. My guess is he blacked out, G induced loss of consciousness (G-LOC), which at that altitude and speed can easily be fatal.

Remember, the blue angels don't war G-suits like combat pilots.

Answer 4

US military airplane crash investigations are often rather long and intensely thorough. in many circumstances the examine team won't make any comments approximately reason till each and all the climate have been taken under consideration. I even have seen respected findings take in to a year to be launched.

Answer 5

A possible g-force,that affects the brain function for coordintion and control.

Answer 6
