On Thursday, the U.S. Department of War lowered the total number of American servicemembers officially killed during the Iran War from 18 to 14, removing the four servicemembers killed during the most recent round of hostilities in the Middle East; 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, 28, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, who were killed last week by an Iranian ballistic missile attack in Jordan, and Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, who died as a result of a controlled demolition of an Iranian one-way attack drone in Iraq. Three military officials told The New York Times that one reason behind the change was that their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a ceasefire with Iran in April.
@PriestTaiwanese@FrezshDraws No. Don't be an idiot. I want the maneuver to be performed as intended. What I don't want is leadership encouraging something that is unsafe.

wow, this post blew up and angered a lot of people.
the jet doing the sneak pass was not flat, he was in a banking turn. on twitch of the stick and youre going over and down
Blue Angels carry the weight of representing the best of the best. They're not elite because of their stick-handling skills. They're elite because they possess the character required to carry that weight. Respect to this officer. We're in dire need of people like him.

The Blue Angel pilot responsible for the low turning pass has spoken to Rep. Michelle Salzman.
As was quite obvious, it wasn't a stunt or a deliberate low pass over the crowd as many think it was.
He misjudged his turn onto the show line and overshot above the crowd.
@PriestTaiwanese@FrezshDraws The pilot performing the maneuver openly admitted to miscalculating the turn. We're lucky nothing happened. Now, sit non-pilot.

April 21, 2007 – Lt. Cmdr. Kevin “Kojak” Davis
• Incident: At the end of a show at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina, Davis crashed his F/A-18 Hornet while attempting a maneuver (involving a turn or pull). He was flying too low and too fast.
• Changes:
• Increased minimum altitudes and safety buffers for certain high-energy maneuvers.
• Refined procedures for show-end or rejoin maneuvers.
• Reinforced pilot decision-making to abort if parameters (speed/altitude) were off.
So if nobody ever died why did they make these changes?
