Yep. At one point I've seen a former Blue Angels F/A-18A still resplendent in it's team colours listed on Ebay. There was also a former Soviet Air Force MiG-29 on there as well at one point. Clicky

 

[-TA-]

my inner plane geek came out when I annouced what plane it was before they did on the news.

im cool!

Seems to be very little coverage on this. BBC are stating the pilot was on approach when it crashed.

 

[The Funktopus]

News from some of the aviation forums I frequent so far is that everyone's accounted for. Pilot seemed a bit dazed though.

Edit - Nope, two dead now they're saying.....
