The following is from a dear friend of mine, Tim E. Ol’ Tim is a right fair hand with a camera. Go by his website and take a look.

By now most of you have heard the news, at least I hope so, as it was the top story this morning on Fox, CNN and a few other networks. But if you have been camping in Siberia let me bring you up to date.
Saturday afternoon near the end of the performance of the US Navy Jet Demonstration Team, the Blue Angels, the number 6 aircraft was lost approximately 3 miles from show center. The pilot, Lieutenant Commander Kevin Davis was killed.
It was his first season as a demonstration pilot but LCDR Davis served as the narrator for the show last year. Investigations are under way as to the cause, but rest assured LCDR Davis was a very experienced and highly decorated pilot. He was serving in the position of opposing solo pilot. He will be missed by his family, shipmates, friends and the air show community.
This morning at the show opening the GEICO Skytypers demonstration team flew a missing man formation in honor of LCDR Davis while Taps was played on the PA. It was the most emotional event I have ever seen and rightly so. Below are a few of my shots from the weekend, please keep the family and friends in your prayers.
Feel free to pass this on to others.
Blue Skies Kevin…
