What is it with planes and Golf Courses?

More planes have crashed on Golf Courses.  Today an Air force Thunderbird pilot who ejected safely and a Blue Angels pilot who unfortunately appears to have died in the crash of his F/A-18, had their planes come down on golf courses.


"(CNN)A U.S. Navy Blue Angels jet and an Air Force Thunderbirds F-16 crashed Thursday in separate incidents in Tennessee and Colorado, officials said.

The F-16 crashed south of Colorado Springs, Colorado, after a U.S. Air Force Academy commencement ceremony attended by President Barack Obama.

A spokesman for the academy said the plane went down far from the stadium, and the pilot, a member of the Air Force's Thunderbirds demonstration team, safely ejected."

Does anyone remember when Harrison Ford crashed his WWII Trainer on a golf course last year?

I think aircraft should be banned from flying near golf courses as they appear to have some mystical quality causing air craft crashes.

My prayers for the family of the Navy Blue Angels Team Member.

Update to yesterday's post on the IED's about the signals in the Gulf of Mexico

I clicked on This Ain't Hell this morning to start going through my blogroll and found a link to a story about a Russian Akula sub that was in the Gulf of Mexico last month. Unannounced by the Russians. Then as I logged into to post an update G.Brandon Hoyt of by: Brandon, the Random Man had left a comment linking the same story. I'll just post the link to TAH's story so you can follow the link yourselves.
