A pilot was killed when the aircraft crashed Thursday near Nashville, Tennessee, where the team is scheduled to perform at an air show this weekend, a Navy official confirms to ABC News.
The Navy said in a news release that the pilot was beginning to take off during an afternoon practice session when the crash happened. The pilot is not being identified until next of kin is notified.
This is the second fighter jet crash of the day for the military's elite fighter jet performance teams. A member of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds crashed in Colorado following a flyover for the Air Force Academy graduation where President Barack Obama spoke. That pilot ejected safely into a field.
