A Canadian air force pilot rehearsing for an air show ejects from his CF-18 Hornet jet before it crashes at the Lethbridge Regional Airport in Alberta. He was taken to the hospital with undetermined injuries.

Wow, Just wow! [shocked]

that 1st picture reminds me of the endboss in duke nukem 1

**ballingham** · 07-24-2010, 08:13 AM

So, who pays for the damage?

**mymnarorump** · 07-24-2010, 08:49 AM

Can someone photoshop "You're doing it wrong" on top of that?

He's fine.... that is, until the bill comes for the plane he buried.

I bet that photographer is proud of himself. I sure would be to catch those pics.

Yeah I'm not sure who forks over the bill for this one. I'm sure an investigation will determine that to see if this was pilot error... (more than likely) But those CF-18's are ancient too.

Sure enough, Pilot released from hospital, investigation is now set in motion. Air Show will still go on.

Video is now on the BBC site [shocked]

wow if he ejected at a wrong angle
good he's well

**Ygxejxox** · 07-25-2010, 06:16 AM

probably a generator failure, one of the engines only appeared to be running too (look at the impact image).

he probably lost hyd power to the control surfaces.

he probably lost hyd power to the control surfaces.

I'm no expert, but from the looks of the video, It looked like he was trying to gain some height, (pulling the stick back), since the nose was pointed upwards, but at the end it sort of veers off, as if there was no power for forward thrust and instead of banking to the right, it just seems to start to loose height and slowly veers to the right and heads down.

Probably a failure in both engines, as if he had one engine working he could still gain height, but compensate on the stick, to make up for the increased thrust towards one side.

I'm guessing a twin engined jet, creates thrust in both engines simultaneously and that pushes the jet in a straight line, but engine failure on one side only would cause the other engine to push the plane forwards, but more to one side (pretty much like when your driving straight forward and you let go of the steering wheel and the car veers off slightly because of a camber in the road).

That's my guess anyway!

I didnt watch the video

he could have lost an engine,and as he was at a high angle of attack it simply stalled and rolled to the right because one wing stalled before the other

just saw the video... if you lose an engine doing that manoeuvre at that altitude you pretty much have no chance of recovery.

Very lucky! If you survive hitting the ground the last thing you need is to float into the fireball. [surrender]

OMG Ive flown at cold lake

oh and repost !!
