An investigation report released Monday on the fatal April crash of a Blue Angels jet pilot says Lieutenant Commander Kevin Davis was traveling too fast and became disoriented.  Davis' jet went down during an air show at the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.  It crashed about six miles away on the other side of Highway 21.

Davis, who was flying jet number six, died at the scene. He had been with the Blue Angels since September of 2005.  His jet crashed near the Pine Grove neighborhood in Beaufort.  There were no serious injuries, but several houses in the neighborhood of the crash were damaged.  Monday, investigators with the Department of the Navy released details on the changes made because of the accident and what they think caused it.

"His anti-g straining maneuver was probably done improperly for that particular regime that he found himself and that is what caused him to be in the bad situation,” Rear Admiral Mark Guadagnini.

While this has been painful for the Davis family and Blue Angel admirers to accept, all this time we've wanted answers.  Why did this happen to such a well trained pilot and will it happen again?

Monday Navy Officials assured the media that although the shows won't look different from below...the tragedy sparked some major changes in their operations.

As the number six pilot in the April 21st Blue Angel show, investigators believe Lieutenant Commander Kevin Davis found himself lagging behind.  In an effort to catch up, he failed the next maneuver.

"He pulled acute, he accelerated to make it happen quicker and what that means in the end game is you really have to switch the g-forces on.  He tried to make that last turn and it was at an airspeed and altitude combination that perhaps he wasn't quite ready for,” Guadagnini said.

The crash that followed ended his life and spurred changes big and small.  On a local level, some longtime homeowners were forced to make major improvements.  In some cases, start all over.  But the Naval Air Training Chief says that fatal crash changed Blue Angel operations forever.

"We've changed the profiles so that the profiles in the centrifuge more accurately represent what the Blue Angels go through on every show.  We have a specific one for the Blue Angels and we're going to have those guys go through it every year," Guadagnini said.

What will never change, though, is the honor and remembrance of Lieutenant Commander Kevin Davis.  Besides the yearly centrifuge training, the Blue Angels now have stricter physical fitness requirements.  Also, the Navy is making every effort to meet the needs of homeowners who were affected by the crash.  If you're one of those and want more information about the status of claims or the process itself, call the office of the Judge Advocate General at 202-685-5493.
