Salute!
I assume Hektor found some new news release about that gal at Shaw's demo team. I haven't seen anything on normal places. So a ref would be nice.
Secondly, the Thunderbird four ship smoking holes were because the lead had debris or broken part in the elevator linkage and was using both hands on stick to no avail... about only criticism was he should have let go with left hand for 2 or 3 seconds and called abort.
I was at a Blues show when the lead went below planned/briefed altitude and they aborted. We thot it was a bit low but also a new maneuver when wingies went left and right and up. He resigned that night or next day cause he felt he was "losing it" and they needed another lead. This was about 9 or 10 years ago at Lakeland Sun and Fun, if memory serves me.

Reason: grammar?
