The list of fatalities is not complete. Captain Nick Hauwk (I'm not sure of the spelling) was killed when his plane stalled during a low speed pass in the 1981 season at a air show. My brother was one of the pilots killed during the 82 crash. I would edit the main page but I don't remember the details.Dick Mays
After realizing I braincramped on the 50th anniversary date, it was clear that the "celebrates this year" was inappropriate. After all, if the DoD shuts them down next week (governments are known to do this sort of thing after all :-) ), then the article becomes misleading. If the actual 50th anniversary event is interesting in some way, then we can add description of what happened there. Stan Shebs 22:16 Feb 16, 2003 (UTC)
- That's true. Probably a good idea to leave it out for now. Hephaestos 22:20 Feb 16, 2003 (UTC)
- Oh, and thank you for the other improvements! Hephaestos

OK, the '16s are lovely, but, it's a T-birds page, so how 'bout some of their historic aircraft, like, say, F-84, F-100, T-38?
- On another note, can we do a jet demonstration teams page? Just tracking dn the Golden Hawks was a bit of a trial... Trekphiler 20:56, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Link to Pete Peterson
I think that the link for "Pete Peterson" who was part of the "Diamond crash" points to the wrong person. —the preceding unsigned comment is by Bob Collins (talk • contribs) 13:20, December 9, 2005

[edit] Images
Is it just me that thinks there are too many images in the article? Some of them should be removed or placed inside <gallery> tags. kallemax 19:28, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- Heh, yeah, that is a lot. My rule of thumb is that the ideal is to have an average of one illustration visible at any one time - no all-text screenfuls, particularly not for such a visual subject. The images should be a little smaller, and the less-good ones gathered into a gallery at the end (even better would be commons, but that's a bunch of re-uploading). Stan 22:14, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Mountain Home Air Force Base
Shouldn't there be any reference to the 2004 incident at Mountain Home Air Force Base? Also, the two images in the history section do seem to have the correct text. --rxnd ( t | € | c ) 16:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
