This is sad news. I'm grateful to have seen him fly a few times at airshows as well, especially his F-86 Sabre demonstrations which were quite the sight to see. I could be wrong but I thought that some years ago he was working towards bringing an F-5 Tiger II into the airshow demonstration circuit. A sincere thank you for his service and prayers for his loved ones.

My word! RIP Snort. frown


I only heard the tragic news an hour ago when I was checking Juan's channel about the Oshkosh festival. Juan posted a short video on Monday about the crash.

True! We may never know the exact cause. The NTSB investigations are extremely thorough so most likely they should be able to narrow it down to pilot error or mechanical issues. Of course, the NTSB investigations take a lot of time and the final report will probably not be available for a year or so.

I was thinking about Dale Snodgrass this evening. I watched some of Blancolirio's videos and then this evening I saw the airport footage which is hard to watch. I found a couple of pictures from one of my visits to the Tico Airshow. These are from 2010. I'm pretty sure he's piloting the F-86 but I believe he also flew the T-33 as well. I I've also seen him fly the Mig-17 as well. I really enjoyed his flight demonstrations. They were always impressive and a lot of fun to watch. I'm wondering if I saw him too in an F-14 Tomcat demonstration. Years ago they had an airshow at Patrick AFB(Mid 2000s I believe) and from our vantage point from a couple of miles away we watched a Tomcat demo.

Not for more sensitive viewers/readers due to the sensitive subject matter, but there is nothing graphic in the video, images, or words.
Update on the crash over on Juan's channel. Keep in mind that Juan, I believe was a former military pilot and current airline pilot (I believe this summer he may also be found at times in N. CA at one of the wildfire air attack bases), is providing educated speculation about the tragic event based on current known information.

The Final Report of the Snodgrass crash was released.

Juan Browne explains much more detailed and in-depth about the report.

Any aircraft manufacturer who makes a gust lock that can remain in place during taxi should be fined, any owner who uses such a gust lock is courting disaster.

Flying is not so much dangerous as it is very unforgiving of errors.

Simple error and failure to do what is taught in the first or second hour of flight training. Pre-flight check; full check every time. Run-up checks.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

This is true! Errors in flight are unforgiving and we are all well to remember. Flying is not akin to driving a car where one can simply pull off the road to fix an issue.

Very well said. An English early aviator once said “Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect.”


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Very profound!

One quarter of uni I was in some intense courses on ecology, fishery management (that came to nothing, but was so fun!), and Meteorology. I now recall seeing a poster in the meteo classroom that had this quote, or one quite similar, since the prof also taught aeronautics.
