1 dead and 1 injured. Crashed onto a home?

A better video. Looks like both pilots ejected.

Terrible news.  Embarrassed Amazing no one on the ground was injured.

The Snowbirds performed at Fairchild AFB quite a few years ago. They were very enjoyable to watch.

I haven't heard anything actually verified yet, but I saw what looked like to items ejected from the plane after it rolled over. Heard the female pilot died. So there must have been 2 in the jet.

Yes, crazy no one on the ground injured. My first thought was the pilot guided into the ground to avoid ground causalities, but then again, it happened real close to the ground, it wouldn't have made a difference.
