I appreciate all the info given here even if the comments came accross harshly. We’re all upset about this no question.

I understand the comment the shows are not necessary - just entertainment. But these are the ultimate of everything America has stood for in our 200 + years, if we’ve done anything right.... I can’t even imagine how to describe these shows, there’s nothing to compare...

Hard to believe this happened because he clipped a tree.

I don’t know if I can express what I want to or not, but military air shows, graduations, parades. It gets to you. We see who we are and the finest our country has to offer. It’s not entertainment but a kind of a revival of patriotism IMO.

No way did a tree cause this mishap. The entire flight profile is checked for obstructions. Now, it is possible that he hit a tree when he was already on the way down, and out of control. But this did not start because of a dammed tree.
