Saw smoke from the highway
I pointed out the smoke from the airshow to CP, but the smoke didn't look quite right.
It could have been much worse.Quote:
Stunt plane crashes at Oceana during air-show rehearsal
A civilian, World War II-era stunt plane crashed today while practicing for an air show at Oceana Naval Air Station set to begin hours later, officials said. There was no word on injuries.
Ralph Roberts with GEICO Skytypers told WAVY-TV the Skytypers' No. 6 plane went down during an air show rehearsal about noon. The crash occurred "at the very end of their last maneuver," Roberts said.
"He probably tried to continue to make the maneuver and save the plane, possibly by doing a belly flop," Roberts said.
We don't live close enough to Oceana to hear the jets based there, but during the airshow weekend they come ripping by here pretty damn quickly.
The Blue Angels just tore by a minute ago.
