Jesus. That's the 4th display team aircraft in a few weeks. Let's hope for an incident free rest of season.

Actually just week. As of my post it's been about 7 days and 3 hours since Thunderbird 6 "landed" without her pilot.

That is really quite a lot of metal missing from a control surface, I know the F-5 is not as hot in the landing phase as it's cousin the T-38, but good job getting her down.

That's testimony to the flight characteristics of the F-5 and also the quality of the structure. Well done to Northprop for that
Re: Swiss Pat F5 Crash in Holland
Still waiting to hear what happened with Thunderbird 6. There's a rumor floating around that it ran out of fuel.....

The Air Force stated they removed 800lbs of fuel from the airframe plus fuel contaminated dirt... so there was some left on board.
