A Blue Angel pilot crashed Saturday afternoon while performing at an air show at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. The pilot was killed in the crash, according to the Beaufort County Coroner’s Office.
Though initial reports said the plane hit a pine tree or power line, other witnesses said the jet was in total control before it plummeted below the treeline at about 4 p.m.
A portion of the F/A-18 Hornet traveled another block before crashing near a heavily populated area off Laurel Bay Road near Shanklin and Pine Grove roads. Parts of the plane hit several houses, according to witnesses.
Reports and witnesses said that it was Blue Angel No. 6 that crashed. The No. 6 plane is piloted by Lt. Cmdr. Kevin Davis of Pittsfield, Mass.
