"I would hate it for any of mine to see me spear in on TV. "
Understandable comment, but military ethos and traditions mean that most will watch, make judgement, discuss at the bar, often comment "There by the grace of god...." and those that knew the crew will ensure that they have the mother of all Mess bills this month.
Have no fear this is indeed a tragedy, but military aviators do not usually put their heads in the sand in grief, to steal a line from Top Gun, they evaluate and learn. They have done since Wilbur first attempted flight and they will do until computers completely take over the skies.
I myself experienced a sick feeling not present since the Mosquito crashed at Barton. There will be those who shout about Air Displays in general, and vintage aircraft in particular. The P38 and L39 accidents at Duxford have already come out of the closet. The warbird community could be in for a rough time in coming months.
RIP and sincere condolances to family and friends.
