Post Russian Jets
29.July.2008

A Freshly maintenanced Russian Fighter Jet SU-27 crashes. One pilot ejects and the other one is killed in the crash. The plane carried no ordonance.

Some of us still remember this (the video is unrelated to the news):

I noticed at one point the silly proportion of non-hostile coalition deaths being attributed to helicopter crashes. Not sure if the conclusion was ever drawn to pilot or mechanical error.

wow, that's a wild ass video. 84 killed? I'm surprised one of the pilots managed to survive that.

I've been to one air show in my life, and though it was pretty damned cool, it was in Texas and too goddamned hot to be standing out in the sun for hours. No crashes on mine, though.

The video was unrelated to the news though. it was just an exciting vid. (cool might be a bad word for an event where people died).

heh, true enough. But as Homer Simpson said, It's funny because I don't know them.
