Though a board of inquiry had to convene to determine the cause of the crash, the pilot error is most unfortunate, it could also have easily have been a catastrophic mechanical failure that day. It wasn't and this world lost a good soul in Captain Kuss. Lessons will be learned from this tragedy, and steps will be taken in training to minimize the possibility of it happening again. Bottom line, Captain Kuss loved his job, he loved his country. With great respect Captain Kuss, Semper Fi , fair winds and following seas...

I however feel that as a husband and father he did not intend to leave his young family. Even though the report states pilot error as the cause, we will never know what happened to cause him to do this. As a fan of the Angels, I was comforted by the rumor he knew he was going down so to protect everyone he went down with the plane to keep others safe. I still feel compassion for his family, fellow team members and all of us who will miss Capt. Kuss and Blue Angel #6. I pray his young family will find peace and comfort in knowing how much he is loved!! I realize that it is necessary to know what happened.
