Special characteristics:
  • Display team: Thunderbirds
The aircraft crashed in a field near Widefield, not far from Colorado Springs, after a fly-over at the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony. The pilot, Maj. Alex 'Tuna' Turner ejected safely. The cause of the mishap was a throttle trigger actuation and subsequent malfunction (throttle trigger stuck in retracted position) followed by the pilot’s inadvertent full-rotation of the throttle grip while retarding the throttle aft to cutoff position.
