US jet crashes in Germany: Does this affect relations with the country?

We've been dumping F-16s all over Germany for 30+ years. Nothing new there...

As an active duty CSM here at Graf, I do not think this will cause problems at the national level and we've developed some very strong relationships at the local level here at Graf. We had the privilege to be one of the first units called to respond and our Soldiers handled the mission in an exemplary manner while we awaited the crash investigation teams arrival....this really shows the importance of developing a relationship with the communities surrounding your base! I foresee no drastic impact of this accident.

This is not the first aircraft to crash at an international air show.... there is a memorial outside Ramstein Air Base for a crash that killed spectators in addition to air crew.... Canadian Snow Birds crashed in MT a number of years ago.... there are many others, some with "good reasons", some with less acceptable reasons (like the Russian that crashed and it was discovered he had something like 10 hours per year fly time....). Investigation will be done, blame will be placed, people and governments will move on.
