My thoughts and prayers are with Capt Kuss’s family and the Blue Angels family. Being a former Navy wife, I share the sadness of losing one of our own. This is always such a sad time. I still remember when the same thing happened during an air show practice at Lakehurst, NJ. I am so fortunate that someone shared the pictures of Fat Albert and the homecoming of Capt Kuss. The beautiful gold and blue sunset is God’s way of welcoming him home!
