LOL what a dumb mistake (slow speed and close to the ground when doing a full circle)!

Wow. nice video dude.
Revival come on man...anybody can make a mistake. But check out the guy's quick reaction in putting the airplane on a path away from the crowd and ejecting (In such a short spate of time).

A prime example of professionalism and training executed within seconds when your life and that of other people's is on the line whilst flying a several-hundred km/h fighter jet low level. Thanks for the great video, Aussie Digger.

No dramas, guys. Revival, have you been to an airshow? Quite a lot of flying is done at extremely low level during an airshow. It's not much of a spectacle when an F-16 does a loop at 20 000 feet...
