We enjoyed a visit to the Captain Jeff Kuss USMC Memorial on a sunny, blue sky day. The sleek Blue Angels plane is a dramatic centerpiece to the memorial. We were happy to spend time for the worthwhile visit.
Our only problem was parking and walking to the memorial. Some construction seemed to interfere with parking for a closer walk, so we ended up parking at the park next door and walking across the grassy lawn to the memorial.

A beautiful tribute to Captain Jeff Kuss. A Blue Angel whose plane crashed during a practice for the air show. This is a well done tribute done by the city of Smyrna and the Blue Angels.

Tribute over looking the Smyrna Airport for a Blue Angel that lost his live while practicing for a Airshow at the former Navel Air Station in Smyrna.

This is a well done memorial. The Blue Angel plane catches your attention as you drive past it from the road. We were staying in the area and noticed the memorial as we drove past. We did some online research and learned of Captain Kuss. This memorial is very interesting. It tells of Captain Kuss's life and his tragic death as a Blue Angel while practicing for a local air show back in 2016. It is a sobering attention getter. Definitely stop when you are in the area. Park in the park next door and take a short walk to through the well done pathways to this memorial.

I saw the smoke from the crash of Captain Kuss's plane and watched the F18 Hornet when it was set in place at the memorial. The design is beautiful and the markers tell the story.

Nothing but respect for the Blue Angels and the town of Smyrna who both went above and beyond to honor Capt. Jeff Kuss who dies here.

I was only about a mile from the crash site, when it happened. The black plume of smoke was visible for miles. I hope this memorial helps bring healing to his widow and children.

I was deeply saddened when I learned of the crash. When I drove by and saw the memorial it reminded me how precious and short life can be. Thanks to everyone who had a part bringing this memoial to life. My heart swells with community pride. Thank you

Nothing better to me than to honor Capt Kuss with a memorial like this. I am proud of Smyrna and the Blue Angels for making it happen.
