Pilot punches out of CF-15 during practice run at airshow just seconds before crashingcreated 7/24/2010 - 6:22 pm, updated 7/24/2010 - 6:24 pm by Chris |
Crazy! Based on the eyewitness accounts, he lost one engine prior to the jet losing control. Don't know if it was mechanical, bird strike, or other, but the pilot managed to eject with no time to spare. You can see the plane come in on a slow, high angle pass, then lean to one side just before. The canopy blows off but because there is not much airflow to pull it back and away, the pilot almost gets put right into it like Goose from Top Gun.
