Pilot Capt. Brian Bews ejects as his a CF-18 fighter jet plummets to the ground during a practice flight at the Lethbridge County Airport on Friday, July 23 for the weekend airshow in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. "He is alive and we believe right now that his injuries are non-life-threatening," Canadian Forces Capt. Nicole Meszaros told CBC News.
There's also a video.
Yeah, I'd say this does NOT fall under that old saying "Any landing you walk away from is a good landing."
I'm very glad to know that the pilot was OK, though I am curious what happened.
Either way, the F-18 has always been my favorite fightercraft and it's sad to see one meet its end.
