Sad to see. There is no room for error when doing hi-performance acrobatics, like they do. :(

May the dead pilot rest in peace and my condolences to the families of the dead pilot and injured.

I still remember the famous Mig-29 crash at the Paris airshow when the Russian test pilot rode that bad boy to 150 feet before he bailed so it would miss the crowd,that guy had guts.

A prayer for all.
