Ram Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Cajun was the best of us. This is a huge shock.Nickel in the grass, Big Cat. You’ll be missed. 1
Danger41 Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 On the Thunderbirds Facebook page they put up a very nice tribute video to Cajun. I never knew him, but it was very obvious how well liked and respected he was. It’s obviously tragic that he was lost, but I always try to find solace that a true fighter pilot like him died with his G suit and boots on while living out a lifelong dream next to his brothers.
brabus Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Tbirds put together a solid memorial and roll call yesterday for Cajun. The turn out was impressive, but certainly not surprising. Here's to you brother, well see you on the other side

Hopefulflyer389 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Damn! Can these aircraft be equipped with GCAS or would the system be rendered useless due to them flying so low already?

Expand Do you want a system enabled on your airplane that rolls your airplane wings level and pulls up when you fly your whole routine in super fingertip?

precontact Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/f-16cm-thunderbird-investigation-of-fatal-crash-rele-452748/ “Auto GCAS has successfully saved several F-16 pilot lives, however it is not currently installed in F-16 Block 52s flown by the Thunderbirds,” said the USAF. “The Air Force will be installing this upgrade in all Thunderbird jets in November 2018, following the completion of the current season."
