Thunderbirds Honor Fallen Blue Angel In The Most Heartfelt Way Ever - World War Wings:
"On June 2nd, 2016, the United States military suffered two accidents that have stirred much commotion in the aviation community.
In the morning, Thunderbird #6, Major Alex Turner, ejected from his F-16, ditching the plane into an empty field in Colorado Springs.
He landed safely and there were no casualties.
A few hours later however, tragedy did strike.
The Blue Angels were practicing for an airshow in Tennessee when the #6 plane also crashed. Piloted by Captain Jeff Kuss, his plane fell from the sky as some footage showed.
As of right now, the investigation is underway, but eyewitness’ reports and logistical results indicate the Kuss did not eject and stayed with the plane in order to steer it way from populated areas.
He died a hero."
