bouche Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 CF-18 Crashes at airshow rehearsalIt's pretty remarkable that this guy managed to eject 1 second before the jet collided with the ground and exploded. I can only imagine what was going through his head as he floated down beside what was nearly a death sentance.Pilot Ejects From CF-18 Before Crash - Watch more Funny Videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 As soon as this happens over a city (say...Ottawa) instead of an empty field maybe they'll stop doing it.I love seeing those dudes fly, but seems like a hefty price tag (in so many ways) for such a minor...sport?

AD Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 When things go right (IE when things go normally, or when the safety systems of an aircraft and the training of the pilot work as expected) air shows can be great PR and recruitment devices. Crashes with injury are bad though. Obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
