We spent the day at the Mountian Home AFB for the Gunfighters air show.
You may have already heard that Airforce's Thunderbird #6 crashed (I was told it was number 6, not confirmed).
The plane was doing a loop, and it sounded like the engine was off as it came around to recover. The plane did level out at about 100 ft , and the pilot ejected. The chute didn't quite open before hitting ground.
We did see the pilot raise to his feet afterwards , but He was taken by ambulance.
I was still watching in disbelief when I snapped this shot-
Needless to say the rest of the show was cancelled.
