Just heard that Dale "Snort" Snodgrass was killed yesterday in a flying accident.  For those unaware, Dale was a prolific F-14 Tomcat pilot that after retirement has been a very active airshow pilot flying several different types of aircraft.

 

One of his most well known photos from when he flew the Tomcat is:

May be an image of airplane and outdoors

I saw Snort a lot when he was active in air shows.  Great guy!  He will be missed.

Yeah, watched this earlier today.... such a tragic situation.  Absolutely professional behavior by the ATC! Really baffled why it took the fire team so long to get on scene though...
