Not if what you knew came only from this forum, though. The nature of the formation and aerobatic maneuvering was not previously described in the one locked thread on this incident.

How does knowing this change anything about the incident. They are an Aerobatic demonstration Team, Not a bunch of Yahoos flying about willy nilly.

It doesn't change anything about the incident, as it's in the past.

It does help some of us unfamiliar with the incident understand it better, however.

OP, thanks for posting the links

How does knowing the details about any incident change things? It's educational and informative for certain people. It describes additional detail that some may be interested in, which was not previously described on VAF. You may not be interested in the details. Others are. But I don't understand the point of your 2nd sentence.

Thanks for posting the link to the report. After reading it, my understanding is that the RV-8 was attempting to perform this maneuver. Is that correct?

I'd love to see a picture of the tail on the -8 but I'm sure that will be suppressed.

These pics were posted elsewhere (not VAF).

WOW. I never figured an RV tail would take that and still fly. Great job getting it down.
