Posted: 12 Sep 2014 05:12 AM PDT

I know we all make mistakes, but if skydivers like this are sharing the same airspace as the rest of us, they should at least be wearing home arrest-style ankle bracelets so we can keep track of them in the sky. The madness all starts off with a botched wingsuit rodeo, which turns into a [...]

Steve GyrstingSteve Gyrsting
Date: October 10, 1987 Nationality: American
Object Type: Span
Location: New River Gorge Bridge, Feyetteville, West Virginia, United States
COD: Impact
Clothes / Suit: Normal Clothes

Description:
This is the third New River Gorge Bridge fatality and the second to occur during a Bridge Day.

Steve is making his 3rd jump of the day using a skydiving pilot chute and skydiving bridle.
When told by the Bridge Day Jumpmasters this isn't the hot set up Steve replied, It's always worked before. He then launched cleanly for the planned 3-second delay.
He released the hand held pilot and the bridle fully extended.
However the pilot chute did not inflate (in the video it appears inverted mesh side out.)

To his credit Steve pulled his reserve ripcord handle in the bottom of his fifth second of freefall. but only received line stretch prior to impact.
This jump began the process whereby larger BASE pilot chutes and longer BASE bridles became mandatory at Bridge Day.

Antonio VanoneAntonio Vanone
Date: August 23, 1987 Nationality: Italian
Object Type: Earth
Location: North Wall, Italy
COD: Canopy Strike
Clothes / Suit: Normal Clothes

Description:
(Note: This fatality has just come to light in March of 2006)
This jumper had one previous BASE jump, an unstable head down launch from the same site, with the same gear, a week prior to his fatality.
His second, and last BASE jump, is in clear WX conditions and light winds.
Antonio is wearing a skydiving rig with a Pegasus canopy and a large hand held pilot chute. However, he elected to tie his slider down for a planned six-second delay.
The canopy opened with a half line twist and hit the wall whereupon it began a series of wall strikes and collapses.
(This report was supplied by friends of Antonio who wanted to make sure he was remembered. Antonio left a wife behind.)

Date: May 16, 1987 Nationality: English
Object Type: Earth
Location: Cheddar Gorge, United Kingdom
COD: Impact
Clothes / Suit: Normal Clothes

Description:
Mike packed his parachute at the bottom of Clifton Gorge in Bristol. It was Mike's first solo pack job, and he was checked by an experienced BASE jumper, as he packed. Mike had 200 jumps with three previous BASE jumps.
The static line parted prior to extracting the canopy.

Another report from this same site included the following warning: Cheddar Gorge is an experienced BASE jumper's site as you need quick reactions for the canopy control side. You need to open, look down, and know instantly how you are going to approach the landing area. There have been at least five lucky escapes from this site.

The Thunderbirds' "Diamond Crash"

Posted: 11 Sep 2014 04:32 PM PDT

The Thunderbirds' "Diamond Crash"
At Indian Springs Auxiliary Air Base, NevadaJanuary 18, 1982
A New Leader...

On September 8, 1981, the commander of the Thunderbirds since 1979, Lt. Col. David L. Smith, 40, was taking off in his T-38 Talon when, shortly after departure from Burke Lakefront Airport, it ingested several seagulls, stalling the engines. Hundreds of spectators and countless downtown office workers watched in horror as the jet plunged downwards toward Lake Erie. Luckily, Smith and Staff Sgt Dwight Roberts, 31, the crew chief riding tandem behind him, both ejected from the plane.


But Smith's ejector seat chute did not have time to open, and he impacted on rocks next to the lake and rolled into the water, killing him instantly.

With the loss of their leader, and with the approach of autumn, the 1981 air show ended for the unit. A new leader, Major Norman Lowry, had already been selected by the Air Force to command the team after Smith. With Lowry leading, a fresh start after the loss of Smith and second solo Nick Hauck, who had been killed in another mishap in May of '81, began.
Four months later...
The four "Diamond" aircraft, Thunderbirds #1, 2, 3, and 4 (tail numbers 68-8156, 8175, 8176 & 8184), were training for an air show at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona. Climbing side-by-side for several thousand feet in a slow, backward loop, then hurtling down at more than 400 mph, leveling off at about 100 feet, in a maneuver called a "line-abreast loop," a malfunction in the lead plane, Thunderbird #1, occurred.
"At the speed they were goingwhen they came out of the loop,I just thought, "That's the end ofthat for them fellows,'" saidW.G. Wood of Indian Springs,who witnessed the crash as hedrove along U.S. 95. "It happenedso fast I couldn't tell youif one hit sooner. It looked likeall of them hit at the sametime."
George LaPointe, a construction worker, watched the jets disappear behind tree tops, "They didn't come back up," he said. "They were going full tilt, really screaming, and at the time I thought they were too low."
A resident across the highwayfrom the auxiliary base wherethe flight team practiced saidhe heard the whine of the red,white and blue jets as theyclimbed to a high arch, then thescream of the engines as theyplunged downward to completethe maneuver.
"Then boom-boom-boom,boom-boom-boom as they hitthe ground one after another,"said Loren Conaway.
Following their leader to the end, all four planes plowed in the ground. All four pilots were killed instantly.

Technical Sergeant Al King, was filming on the ground that morning at Indian Springs when the accident occurred. While the sound didn't work, the video part did, and it would help the accident board determine the cause of the accident. The investigation found that there was insufficient back pressure on the control stick of Thunderbird #1 during the loop.
Major Norm Lowry was buried at Riverside National Cemetery inSection 2, Site 1919, in California. Captain Pete Peterson was buried in Culpepper National Cemetery, VA, inSection G, Site 1114, and Captain Willie Mays was buried in his hometown of Ripley, Tennessee.
Captain Melancon was buried in Dallas along his father, Air Force Major James Melancon, who died Sept. 24, 1957, when the B-26 he was piloting crashed in a residential area near Dayton, Ohio.

From the Ashes...
The crash opened public debate on such federally-funded aerial exhibition teams, Some argued that groups like the Thunderbirds were "hot-shot stunt pilots" who were spending too much of the taxpayers' dollars, and risking lives in the process.
But cooler heads prevailed - those who understood the value to military recruitment and on January 26, 1982, Congress passed Resolution 248, stating that "The Congress hereby affirms its strong support for continuation of the Thunderbirds program." But the 1982 air show season was cancelled for the Thunderbirds while they rebuilt their team.
The "Diamond Crash," as it was later called, led to the Thunderbirds upgrading their T-38s to the frontline F-16A "Fighting Falcon" jet fighter, built by General Dynamics, for their performances. In order to rebuild the team, the Air Force pulled several former Thunderbird pilots, who were still on active duty, to "come out of air show retirement", get qualified in flying the F-16A, and had them start flying in "two-ship" formations through all the aerobatic maneuvers, starting in August of 1982, and led by Major Jim Latham.
Slowly, the team expanded - one airplane at a time - back up to the full formation of six airplanes.




A memorial in honor of the fallen is located on the western wall of the North Las Vegas Police Department's headquarters. At the United States Air Force Academy, a T-38 painted in Thunderbirds color scheme is decidated to the team and its then-leader, Major Lowry.
Range 65 is now referred to as "The Gathering of Eagles Range" - an annual aviation event that encourages the study of aviation history and the contributions of aviation pioneers atAir Command and Staff College.
In 2005, Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field officially changed its name to Creech Air Force Base in honor of General Wilbur L. "Bill" Creech, who was known as the "father of the Thunderbirds."
