Earlier this afternoon Maj Alex Turner in Thunderbird 6 reportedly lost power and had to eject soon after a demonstration at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. He's reportedly in good shape (possibly uninjured), and the plane came down softly in an empty field.

And a few hours later one of the Blue Angels suffered a mishap and crashed in Tennessee. There is no word on the condition of the pilot or what jet it was as of this post.
