Dear. United States Navy

That was a full send , they stole the show!

I’m so proud these of these young Women and Men aviators! 🇺🇸🥳

This reminds of the scene from Top Gun, “Air Boss Johnson: Two of your snot-nose jockeys did a fly-by on my tower at over 400 knots! I want somebody's butt; I want it now; I've had it!”

Give it a day. After this, leftists will probably demand a ban on drone shows too. 😂

July 4th F35 Flyover. The spot where the track crosses just west of waypoint #7 , looks to be at or near NE Mall. You may have a shot at seeing them twice, provided there are no tall obstructions in your sight line.

@ScannerRadioDFW Something just buzzed Hwy121 by the Roughriders field🧐
Didn’t get out in time to see and wasn’t squawk…

The last major US accident caused by windshear

July 2 1994: USAir Flight 1016, a DC-9, crashes in Charlotte (N. Carolina, US) 37 of 57 aboard die. Approaching in bad weather, the jet was struck by windshear during a go-around, causing loss of control. Factors: crew actions, detection methods of hazardous weather, and ATC procedures.

More info here from the accident report

PROBABLE CAUSE: "1) the flight crew's decision to continue an approach into severe convective activity that was conducive to a microburst;

2) the flight crew's failure to recognize a windshear situation promptly;

3) the flight crew's failure to establish and maintain the proper airplane attitude and thrust setting necessary to escape the windshear; and

4) the lack of real-time adverse weather and windshear hazard information dissemination from air traffic control, all of which led to an encounter with and failure to escape from a microburst-induced windshear that was produced by a rapidly developing thunderstorm located at the approach end of runway 18R.

Contributing to the accident were:

1) the lack of air traffic control procedures that would have required the controller to display and issue ASR-9 radar weather information to the pilots of flight 1016;

2) the Charlotte tower supervisor's failure to properly advise and ensure that all controllers were aware of and reporting the reduction in visibility and the RVR value information, and the low level windshear alerts that had occurred in multiple quadrants;

3) the inadequate remedial actions by USAir to ensure adherence to standard operating procedures;

and 4) the inadequate software logic in the airplane's windshear warning system that did not provide an alert upon entry into the windshear."
