USAF Thunderbird AND USN Blue Angel down

Multiple reports on Twitter reporting that an F-16 from the Thunderbirds has crashed earlier following an engine failure following a fly past of the graduation at the USAF Academy at Colorado Springs.

Multiple sources also confirming that the pilot ejected and is under medical care already. Here's hoping for a swift recovery

Looks well to me from these pics.
