|  Reason for Blue Angels #6 crash? Was there ever a finding on the reason the #6 jet went down back in April? Also is there a website where you can search for NTSB reports? I did a search and could not find any thing. Thanks in advance. |

 | Re: Reason for Blue Angels #6 crash? I dont know if youll find it in the NTSB. I would think the Navy conducted their own investigation. I could be wrong.

| Re: Reason for Blue Angels #6 crash? NTSB does not cover the military unless a civilian airplane was involved.

| Re: Reason for Blue Angels #6 crash? Short version, He had too much closure to the formation, pulled too hard to join up and blacked out at less than 500 AGL. The Blues fly with a siginifcant foward trim in the stick, therfore he went in before he could recover. I don't know where a civilian can view the official complete report. It's out there somewhere.

| Re: Reason for Blue Angels #6 crash? There were a few commanders' calls I attended that shared incident findings as a learning tool. The most memorable was the findings on the B52 Airshow Practice accident at Fairchild in the early 90's. I don't think they are ever made readily available to the public or even general military personnel.

| Re: Reason for Blue Angels #6 crash? If you're in the military, you can get them from the appropriated Safety Center.
