Tragedy struck in June 2016 when Capt. Jeff Kuss was killed while preparing for an air show performance near Nashville. Signs have been put up along Highway 3 near his hometown as a memorial.
A few weeks back I was asked if I'd like to take a ride on the Blue Angels' C-130 transport-aircraft the "Fat Albert," at the Grand Junction Air Show -- I figured it would be a cool experience, I didn't realize I was in for a ride of a lifetime.
