I very much doubt it, as 99-0168 was noted departing Lakenheath yesterday, whilst the unfortunate bird crashed while on a local training flight practising for the upcoming airshow.wamovements wrote:As the crash happend on the 28th (local time) I assume we can conclude that it was bird 99-0168
You sure the demo at Gilze and Fairfoird was from the same team ???? The demo at Gilze was much more exciting !Stratofreighter wrote:How many dedicated "C-17 flying display crews" does the USAF have Wondering whether there was a "special demo crew" on board...
Fairford and Gilze-Rijen were visited by the "West Coast Display Team" this year...
Serials, Serial and Serials. We will see wich tail is the one.TF-104G wrote:first reports says 00-0173 but not 100% safe.
Sad news
If you are not interested in the serial, that is very fine for you, you don´t have to ask for it. Other people are however, life goes on you know. It is a very bad day for the people involved, their relatives, friends and the USAF. But most here are neither of them. I don´t go sit and cry in a corner about this, just like I don´t go and sit in the corner and cry about all the little children dying in Africa every day. So please, lets not overreact in these situations.Miles wrote:Serials, Serial and Serials. We will see wich tail is the one.
But i dont care about the tailnumber. 4 guys are killed in this crash and thats the point!
