Since the crash of the Canadian airplane, 100% of the Canadian Air Force ceased to exist.

Don't worry... they still have their Navy!

Thats a strange accident,,,at first it looked like pilot error to me, since he should have been able to go into full afterburner and just nose it over,but looking at the picture you can see that the left engine's rear nozzle is in the wide open position,,,thats either at full afterburner or at idle,,and the right engine's nozzle is closed or in the full non-afterburner thrust position (thats the position it is in during that slow manuver) and in one of the witness interviews one guy said he heard pop, pop, pop and saw sparks comming from one engine which indicates an engine failure of some kind...

Ive seen the blue angels do this manuver many times but they use the F18 super hornet with the F414 engine compared to the F404 engine and the F414 has 4-5000 lbs more thrust..and when they do that manuver with 2 planes and at the end of the slow manuver one noses it over and shoots straight away and the other slams it into afterburner and it goes almost straight up in the air..pretty impressive display of thrust [shocked]

Any news on the pilot? Is he OK?

Any news on the pilot? Is he OK?

He'll be sore and wearing a back brace for a few months, but he's ok!

Story HERE.
