2007 Blue Angels South Carolina crash
The 2007 Blue Angels South Carolina crash occurred on April 21, 2007, when the Number 6 US Navy Blue Angels jet crashed during the final minutes of an air show at the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort in Beaufort, South Carolina.〔(U.S. Navy "Blue Angels" jet crashes ), Reuters, April 21, 2007 7:32PM EDT〕 The sole fatality was confirmed and identified as the pilot, Lieutenant Commander Kevin "Kojak" Davis, by the Blue Angels on April 22, 2007.〔(Report: Blue Angels Pilot Dies In S.C. Plane Crash ), Associated Press article, Posted on NBCSandiego.com, UPDATED: 3:33 pm PDT April 22, 2007 〕 The body of the pilot and the flight recorder were later recovered and moved to the local coroner's office.〔Fox News Live: 22 April 7, 10:08 AM Live Interview〕
There were eight injuries reported on the ground.
A report was released on January 15, 2008, ending the investigation by the Navy into the crash. The report states that when Lieutenant Commander Davis pulled back into a 6.8-''g'' pull, he lost control of the aircraft due to G-force-induced Loss Of Consciousness (G-LOC).〔Amos, Smith, ("Report: Blue Angels pilot became disoriented" ), ''Military Times'', January 16, 2008.〕
==Initial reporting==
Early reporting indicated that all six McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornets of the Blue Angels were making their final turns into the landing pattern when Blue Angel #6 flew behind the audience and low over a tree-line, three miles away from air show center, and possibly clipped power lines and a tall pine tree near Shanklin Road. This was followed by a large plume of black smoke, which Blue Angel #1 immediately began to circle while the others landed. A local official later said that due to safety regulations, there was only a very slim possibility that the tree or power lines could have brought the aircraft down. The aircraft slid for two hundred to three hundred yards after it hit the ground, crashing through homes and vehicles.〔(Pilot killed in S.C. Blue Angel crash ), By Bruce Smith, Associated Press, Posted on Yahoo News Sat April 21, 7:47 PM ET 〕 Seconds after the crash, several rescue helicopters and local emergency vehicles went to the crash site in response to 9-1-1 calls.〔(Report: Blue Angels Pilot Dies In S.C. Plane Crash ) 〕〔(Blue Angel crashes; pilot killed; eyewitness reports home caught fire ) 〕 The Navy identified the pilot as LCDR Kevin J. Davis of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, the opposing solo in the #6 jet.
