They had a horrible incident at Indian Springs, NV in 1982 when they were flying T-38's, the lead plane in the diamond formation had a malfunction while performing a loop, the lead crashed and the rest followed him in. All 4 pilots lost.
These guys do what very few other humans can or will do. I am more than happy to give the Air Force my tax dollars. Mark

I remember that one.
We used to live in Merced, just a few mile from the Air Force base there. Back in the 70's there weren't many restrictions as there are now, but it would be common to be watching cartoons on Saturday morning and the windows would rattle with the familiar "BOOM" of the sound barrier being broken.

I was there too. That sucked.
That looks like the same crash.
