On January 18, 1982, the U.S. Air Force lost four Thunderbird pilots in the tragic “Diamond Crash” at Indian Springs. In this Reel, retired Brigadier General Jim Latham, a former Thunderbirds pilot, reflects on that devastating day. He was later tasked with leading the Team back in the aftermath of the accident, including the introduction of the F-16 Fighting Falcon. We remember them today. | Blue Angel Phantoms
